The German House by Annette Hess

4.0

Historical fiction is one of my favorite genres to read, but as I was looking at the synopsis for this book, I realized I have read tons about World War 2, but not much about the years after the war. In this novel, Eva is a translator who finds herself thrust into the Frankfurt Nazi trials of the 1960s. As the trial progresses, she starts to feel like maybe people close to her know more than they have let on throughout her life. I was enthralled with this book, from about 25% on. I thought it started a bit slow, and the storyline jumps from character to character without warning, which can be disconcerting, but I adapted to pretty quickly. Overall, a good and enjoyable read. I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley.
