The Women in the Castle by Jessica Shattuck

4.0

“The varied beauties of life…crocus heads pushing through the melting snow…the fact that human beings are compelled to construct cathedrals and sing lullabies and create art. That they devout themselves to causes and esoteric fields of knowledge, that the world population grows by 80 million people each year. She conjures these things in her mind and hopes they have meaning and she doesn’t say a word” This was really beautifully written and a unique perspective of mostly post war Germany. 4.5
