Although the first part of the book was extremely grim, the story really developed well and the characters were very believable. It kept me coming back. I had a difficult time understanding how the protagonist such a well educated intelligent person could have married Joe, the jerk, but by the end it became clear. Good book! ( ) think perhaps that I have owned this book for quite some time and if I have read it before, I don’t remember it – I find this highly unlikely. At any rate, I am honored to have read it now. A Woman in Amber by Agate Nesaule is a startling memoir of the author’s childhood experiences during the Russian and German occupation of her homeland of Latvia. While the horrors of the war were bad enough in her own country, her Lutheran father and mother, along with other family members, were forced to flee from the competing armies. Their journey was remarkable in complexity and perhaps luck. In depth review at NeverForgetResources Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
American Book Award Winner: A "stunning" memoir of surviving WWII Latvia--and the long journey to healing that followed (The New York Times Book Review). "A heartbreaking yet inspiring memoir of tragedy and healing," A Woman in Amber tells the story of how the occupation of Latvia during World War II affected a woman's relationship with her mother and husband for years to come (Tim O'Brien). Though Agate Nesaule eventually immigrated to the United States and became successful in her professional life, she found herself suffering from depression and unable to come to terms with its cause--until she found her voice and began to share what happened to her and her family at the hands of invading Russian soldiers. In a true story that "draws the reader forward with the suspense of a novel," Nesaule reveals the effects of hunger, both physical and emotional, in stories about begging Russian soldiers for food, the abusive relationship with her first husband, and the redemption that came when she met her second (The New York Times Book Review).
