My review is in no way meant to invalidate Frenkel’s story, hardships, or experience. A Bookshop in Berlin is undeniably an important book—it just wasn’t for me. I think I, like many other reviewers, had a less fruitful experience reading this story due to its misleading marketing. I expected both the author’s bookshop and the city of Berlin to play important roles in the story, but was disappointed in that respect. Had I read this memoir with different expectations at a different time, I likely would have had a much better reading experience.
