Prisoner of Night and Fog
by Anne Blankman
This was... weird to read. The beginning, specifically. It was weird hearing the protagonist of a story say anti-semantic things. I am aware that I picked up a book that took place in the 1930s where the first people we meet are close to Adolf Hitler, but that doesn’t mean I won’t feel weird or uncomfortable hearing those things.
I felt that the main plot wasn’t the death of Gretchen’s father, which was kind of a disappointment. Instead, it was mostly the protagonist learning that Hitler was a bad dude. I was excited to read a sort of mystery taking place during this time, but that’s not what I got.
I’ve read a decent amount of books with the setting of WW2 (WW2 historical fiction is one of my favorite genres), and I felt that this book wasn’t as interesting compared to the other books I’ve read with similar settings.
