so-soI am having difficulty in rating this book. It is a frank look at the unexamined history of those who collaborated with the Nazis in France and their lives, the secrets they carried and the impact of that history on their family. My problem stems from the fact that this is supposedly a fictional novel based on the author‘s family and at times it read more like non-fiction than fiction. It is almost as though the author couldn‘t commit. ⬇️
Gleefulreader The topic is important and there are many observations in this book about the trauma of being raised in a home where the values and beliefs of Nazi Germany are maintained, but hidden behind a facade of funhouse mirrors. I just so wish that perhaps the author just wrote a true non-fiction book of her family rather than a book in where, like life with her family, you aren‘t sure where truth begins and ends. 2d
