Just what I expected from this author. A short little novel that packs so much in. It tells the lives of regular people that are living in Germany during the Nazi party. I liken the narrator Sanna to Nick Carraway of Great Gatsby; as she is mainly recounting the lives of all the people around her. That is until the last and final chapter when her life is the main focus for both her and the reader.
