The Aftermath by Rhidian Brook

4.0

This book was a bit slow but it was a powerful story of the lives of people in war-town Germany. Motherless children, childless mothers, and fathers torn apart by grief collide trying to rediscover how to live. Who can you trust in post-Nazi Hamburg- orphaned children? The new British officers in control? What about your own wife? The range of characters was dynamic and gave different views into the world. I got a bit exhausted of everyone's drama and thought at times that it seemed there was too much going on to make sense of it all. But the ending was satisfying and a little heart-breaking, but everyone was better for it.
