maryk8 's review for:
The Women of the Castle
by Jessica Shattuck
I selected this book for my book club to read. I picked this book for two reasons. First, I have a friend that recently temporarily relocated to Germany and wanted to learn more about the country. Also, it gave insights into a part of the WWII story that are not usually in most books. Many WWII books focus on the Allies, soldiers trying to survive on the battlefield or get back to their unit, spies trying to get past enemy lines, families trying to avoid capture by the Nazi or trying to survive concentration camps. This book offers a unique perspective of the lives of German citizens and the choices they made during WWII, as well as life in the aftermath of the war.
