One of my patients recommended this book. It is historical fiction about the time immediately at the end of WWII in Germany. The structure of the story reminds me of Fannie Flag‘s fried green tomatoes with an older person sharing memories from a retirement home. I delayed reading the end because I knew the twists would be delightful and charming. What a special little book! 🌭 🇩🇪 🥘

I initially picked this book up, because I am German and Currywurst is hands down my favorite food... Don't judge before you try it.
Besides all that, it turned out to be a good book about the last days of WWII in Hamburg, with a snarky heroine to boot!
