This was filled with tons of facts Krug's journey to learn about her family's history was fascinating. So much German history focuses on what happens during WWII, and it was interesting to see how many Germans reacted after the war. The secrecy, the not wanting to talk about what happened. This is all stuff I didn't know, and I could tell Krug had done her research.
However, there were pieces of this graphic novel that I felt could have been designed a bit better. I wasn't a fan of the images cutting the text in half; it made it difficult to follow at times. This doesn't take away from the meat of the story. For the most part, the images and illustrations really add to the story Krug is telling. Can't wait to discuss this at my book club!
