Always good. I never have to worry when picking up a Kelly Rimmer book. This tells the story of a Sophie, a German wife. It takes place both before/approaching/during WWII, as well as years later when her family has moved to the US. It provides a unique perspective I haven't read before - a German family who did not agree with Hitler's direction, but had to covertly follow along to avoid their own imprisonment or threats to themselves and their children. Once they survived the war and have moved to the states, they must navigate the mistrust and hate they receive from Americans.
Rimmer also pro ides perspectives of the Americans having difficulty welcoming Germans. One example is a former soldier, his sister who cares for him and blames the war and Grrmany in particular. You can see how each perspective is a reality for that person and how this creates hate and mistrust amongst those who may have been friends in other circumstances.
