So, so sad. Beautifully written - I now want to read her other books. But so sad.

Visto il periodo storico in cui ci troviamo, la lettura mi stava angosciando e portando alla mente molte paure. Ho preferito smettere.

I really really really wanted to like this book after reading what the author went through but I just had a really hard time getting into it. The second half of the book was readable but the first half followed too many stories and for me didn't really give me enough on any character to become attached to their tale. The particular version I read included an appendix of letters written by the author and her husband that were gripping but that could be read without committing to what I consider a slow, painful read.

Um livro que retrata a entrada dos Alemães na França durante a segunda guerra mundial. Este livro foi escrito a tempo real por uma judia que inicialmente tinha estruturado a obra em 5 partes, tal como a quinta sinfonia de Beethoven, mas que apenas as primeiras duas foram concluídas por ter sido presa, acabando por morrer em Auschwitz de tifo. Aqui podemos ver uma caracterização das diferentes classes sociais de França e de como cada uma delas lida com do os acontecimentos do momento. A obra também reflete que, independentemente da nacionalidade e do lado da guerra em que estamos todos sofrem com as consequências desta.
Gostei muito de ler a obra e tenho pena de não ter conhecido o desenrolar e o desfecho das personagens.
