Gretel and the Dark by Eliza Granville

3.0

Another dream-like, fairy tale, horror story of World War II -- I seem to be drowning in them lately. I found this one to be both more horrible and more of a slog than most -- partially because of the subject matter, partially because I did not really like any of the characters. It's well enough, but it doesn't touch on the glory of Jane Yolen's Briar Rose -- a holocaust fairy tale that haunts me 15 years after reading it.
