Reseñas de la Crítica

“A novel that moves … beyond the crime genre to which it appears initially to belong” The Times

“There is no doubting the power of the story and the righteous anger of its telling” Shots magazine

Heart wrenching

This book goes right to the horrors of the Nazis. There can never be enough written about the sorrow of the Jews. A story that needs to be told over and over. This book is excellent. I recommend it as one of the books that should be read by all.
