review 1: It was suggested as a read-alike for All the Light We Cannot See. It's an interesting tale about the immediate aftermath of WWII for Jewish survivors of the Holocaust in Germany. How do you live when everyone else has died? What do you do with your desire for revenge? But after reading the Doerr book I didn't find this one to be drawn as brightly. I don't think that I'll remember the characters names in a week. And I can't picture the places as vividly.
review 2: National Jewish Award-winning author and NBC correspondent Martin Fletcher did an excellent job telling this end of WWII story of two German Jews who find each other in the immediate aftermath of the war. Both have incredibly nightmarish pasts. Jacob of the camps and Sarah of five years of hidi... moreng in Berlin. It is a story of how love and the search for good overcomes the desire for revenge and tries to answer the question "is it justified to bad things to bad people". Definitely worth the read. less
