Prisoner of Night and Fog
by Anne Blankman
I found Prisoner of the Night and Fog impossible to put down. It is clear the level of detail and research that the author put in to fully transport the reader to that time and place.
I really enjoyed the book and found Gretchen and Daniel to be well likable characters and a sweet love story. Weaving the fictional sorry into historical events was done in such a clever and fascinating way.
A couple of small aspects of the book bugged me, firstly Gretchen's observations about the Jews seemed clunky and repetitive at times. It was clear that we were only listening to it over and over to tell us descriptions Hitler had used. I also felt that some of the German phrases used to add authenticity and atmosphere felt a little like they were trying too hard. Gretchen's mother also bothered me for the first half of the book.
Overall, I found it engaging and it has re-sparked my interest in the history of WW2. I am greatly looking forward to the sequel.
