Deutschstunde: Roman | 
pickA small northern coastal town in Germany 1943 is a microcosm for the internal conflict of the country as the police inspector clashes with the famous resident artist, former friends the ban on degenerate art splits them apart as well as family + friends. Narrated 10 yrs later by the son of the officer , Siggi, from a juvenile facility, this is an absorbing book that explores how Nazism tore the nation apart. Been on my shelf for ages, great read.
BarbaraBB I‘ve had this on my shelves for ages too. Thanks for the heads up 1w
andrew61 I'd definitely recommend it, Barbara. From memory, I think someone recommended it on litsy, but it doesn't look like anyone has reviewed it before. I'm curious therefore how I heard about it initially. 7d
