This is a novel that will sit on my heart for a while. One that I wish I could dissect in a classroom setting due to the amount of symbolism displayed. Very layered. Very important.

devestating. can’t give this a star rating. read the german translation in one sitting and deeply disliked it - naturally i expected discomfort rather than enchantment, given the plot of the book, yet i still felt dissatisfied by this portrayal of the continuous banality of evil.
what spoke to me most was the minor detail, the (in)significant date causing connection and motivation between nameless characters generations apart. surely the frustration and upset i feel is reasonable, intentional, and proof of the point getting across… still, i feel irritated rather than pleased with the book. though the second half was significantly more pleasant to read, it did not really compensate for the struggle of finishing “his” perspective in the first part.

Damn. I have to sit with this one. The writing was gripping, the premise gut-wrenching, the message beautiful and terrible all at once. Definitely something meant to be consumed in one sitting, and something I’d recommend to others.
