I'm posting this for anyone who may have an interest in World War II era fiction. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. I'll admit, it is not something I would normally pick up, but my colleague who is arranging the event told me about the book, and having read it I am very impressed. John Donoghue has finely crafted meticulous research and a superb writing style into a tale of Holocaust horror, hatred, reconciliation and friendship from an unlikely cast of characters. I am personally looking forward to attending and assisting at this event, and meeting and hearing from John about his research and the book.
