sueperlibrarian 's review for:

The Women in the Castle by Jessica Shattuck
3.0

I toggled between 3 and 4 stars because I thought the writing was wonderful, but a book you really need to concentrate, which got in its own way. There are many characters to follow over the course of 70 years of history and is not written in linear format. Anyway, what I liked about the book was that it was a story not previously told (or read) about the wives of the resisters in Germany during WWII and the rise of Hitler. If I took one thing away from the book, is that it screams a message to all of us in America today. But take from it what you would.
