This book is a very heartfelt depiction of one family's experience before and during Hitler's rise to power centered on an ambitious young woman. Alice's struggles to balance her business and family in a time when Jews are losing all control of life in Germany is incredibly moving. It reminds that each name has a story and history to be remembered and cherished.
That said I did find the narrative of the story a little hard to follow in structure, and the dialogue a little strange.
However, I am looking forward to reading more from this author! ( )
