A Bookshop in Berlin: The Rediscovered Memoir of One Woman's Harrowing Escape from the Nazis by Françoise Frenkel

3.0

I wanted to read this after hearing about the lost and republished manuscript for the book. If you're looking for a harrowing tale about concentration camps and Nazis, keep looking because this isn't it. But I found this to be a very realistic and no-nonsense look at the way life was for people even that weren't rounded up and sent to camps. It's an easy-to-read story of a woman's love for books and a country that won't love her back.
