I was happy to see this as a free Kindle read recently. From the description, I could tell that it was a romance set in Nazi Germany. The young German girl falls in love with the dashing Jewish man. They face hardships and struggles because of the war-stricken era they live in. But, love conquers all.
I was to be disappointed. The style of the writing seemed very stilted, very emotionless. What could have really been poignant felt "stiff" to me. And, I was so totally done in by the ending of the story. I know that there weren't many happy endings in that time period, but I would have appreciated something different from a fictional novel. Really.
I just can't recommend this one. I'd give it a shaky three stars. I was interested enough to at least finish the story. And, I think I would rate it a PG-13 for the intimation of intimacy without any description.
