A review by mazza57
The German House by Annette Hess
4.0
Eva Bruhns is a young German woman working as a translator. Her life changes when she take up a post as translator for the Auschwitz Trials in Frankfurt. At the same time she is in a burgeoning relationship with Jurgen, a wealthy man who wants her to bend to his will in what she should and should not do.
There is a third storyline involving her sister Annegret which whilst very interesting has little relevance to the main story line unless it is commenting on character and how it develops. It is this that made the book 4 rather than 5 stars as I felt it didn't really have a place in the novel. I felt the Author would have been bette placed developing Eva's moral questions
It is hard to write a review for this book without giving away the factors that make it surprising, complex and filled with raw emotion. I felt it had a lot to make the reader think and I will remember it for a long time
