mixingwithmadison1's review against another edition
While the racism portrayed was indicative of the time period. It was uncomfortable to hear used so casually. I’d rather educate myself than hear it in historical fiction.

Set during world war 2, I find the characters to have very little in the way of goals that they are working at throughout the book. It is realistic in that sense, that they go through life in a similar manner to ourselves, but i find that it does take away from the engagement of the book.
