This is a very interesting and compelling look at the after math of World War II and the Frankfurt Auschwitz Trials. Through history we already know who is guilty at the end of the trial, but what we don't know is the toll it takes on individuals and families.
The story is a story of a family drama, woman's independence, denial, and a look at what it was like to be a survivor.
I liked the character development of Eve and her becoming an independent young woman who wants to do the right thing. Sadly I found it difficult to form emotional attachments (either positive or negative) in any of the other characters. Overall, I am glad I read this book and have gained a deeper appreciation of the turmoil of that era in Germany.
