I find myself reading many books now on WWII, and the effect it had on the people during the war. This was a terrific book, told in a way that made me really feel I was a part of Helena and Ruth's experiences (which were many times horrible!) Very insightful novel, and as with many other WWII stories, I wonder how anyone made it out alive. It shows the strength of the human spirit. ( ) It's a competently written novel of twin sisters' lives primarily during wartime in Poland under brutal Nazi occupation. Unfortunately there is a huge improbability marring the whole thing: i.e. an American-Jewish soldier... supposedly wounded fighting in Poland... that's Poland invaded & conquered by Nazi Germany & Communist USSR in SEPTEMBER 1939! The author never manages any sort of genuine explanation for this bit of hokum-fiction! After the appearance of this character the suspension of disbelief became impossible! ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
