kaykayhoo 's review for:
Wunderland
by Jennifer Cody Epstein
"Wunderland" was an excellent read albeit how emotional and painful it was to flip through 300-something pages. The main focus of the book was about how the friendship between a German and a half-Jewish girl went south during the Nazi Germany.
Through the story of the German girl, the poisonous effects of propagandas turning regular German to hate, how the youth were being brainwashed, and the gradual changes of hostility towards the Jews were written in some details.
Through the eyes of a German-born Jewish girl, her pain and agony growing up during the unsettling time was heartbreaking to read, as always when reading WW2 novels.
There were remorse, grief, and reconciliation. A bittersweet ending wrapped up the love and feud between the two friends that lasted for over 50 years. A heavy book to read but "Wunerland" was a well-written war novel. 4.5 stars and I highly recommend it.
