dark medium-paced

This book put me through quite a number of different moods; it made me feel in turn warm inside, sad, on the edge on crying, happy that that kind of love exists, dissapointed and a bit angry when the main character didn't do what I desperately wished for him to do, surprised and chagrined at the end...

I love books like this one.

A different take on post-WWII Germany from a very different perspective in all three parts of the book.
