My favorite genre is WWII historical fiction. I really thought The German House would be interesting as it was about the 1963 Frankfurt Auschwitz Trials. The main character Eva is 24 and too young to remember the details of WWII. She worked as a translator and was asked to translate for the Polish witnesses. There are side plots which make no sense especially her sister who is a nurse who is giving babies some type of poison...her fiancé who wants her to conform to his wishes.

I struggled reading this book. First, there are no chapters and paragraphs were so long without some sort of break. It was hard to tell when the narrator changed. I was glad to see the book end, but felt nothing was resolved. Thank you Bookish First and Harper Via for an Advanced Reader Copy in exchange for an honest review.
