I really liked the perspective of this book. You get the American perspective and judgement of the Germans post war, as well as the perspective of those caught in the middle of the dramatic political shift in Germany and trying to figure out how to navigate it. It was very interesting and I found myself constantly wondering how it was going to resolve itself because I felt the conflict of both women. It was hard to find a clear black and white or to choose a side. Definitely recommend.

Excellent story while being thought provoking. What is forgivable if it’s done to protect loved ones?
