2.0

This book made me angry at the behaviour of one of the characters, annoyed by the heavy wording and clunkiness, and the letters itself had no real backbone or substance. Too much telling and not enough showing. Could’ve done with a lot more story, depth, and character development. I wanted to be captivated by this book but in the end it was lacklustre.

This short gut punch of an epistolary novel from 1938 is about the rise of Nazism in Germany and how it swept ordinary people up in its zeal to make Germany great again, and about how it made people act in inhuman ways. Chilling, not to mention frighteningly timely and unfortunately relevant.

For it being a very short novel, you pretty much get the struck, the shock and the adrenaline of the story. For somebody that is quite new to this theme and part of history, I would very much revommend it. And as the comment of the translator goes - I want to see this in schools and see people look at each other saying ‘never again’.
