This book will stay embeded in my mind for a very long time. Well written, well researched, well narated. The twist at the end was completely unexpected.

A DIFFERNET PERSPECTIVE

This was a different take on the Holocaust for you see through the eyes of the tormenters and how they become so cruel and callous! Also you had a Middle European fairy tale woven within the story. Just like the main character states, these are not happy ever after fairy tales. Think of Babba Yaga! The only slow part of this book was the retelling of her grand mother's early childhood. But it is necessary to get the full picture. When she kisses her dead best friend's hand I lost it!! It took me 10 minutes to recover from listening to that! That word picture took me by surprise and I was sobbing as if I had seen it for myself! Over all, this was a super good listen and now I am a fan of Jodi's!
