kvkemp 's review for:
The Women of the Castle
by Jessica Shattuck
Overall this book was pretty blasé. It was an interesting twist on the typical WWII story as this one is from the perspective of three German women instead of Jewish or other European protagonists, but overall it was not as moving or clear as other WWII fiction's I've read (I.e. "The Nightingale" or "All the Light We Cannot See"). It was a little too winding for my taste, I lost track of the three women's stories more than a few times and felt jolted through strange jumps in time and place.
If this is your first novel about WWII, I recommend it more, but overall I was underwhelmed by the story.
