Any book dealing with the holocaust is going to engender strong emotions, and that's certainly true with this novel. The author's empathy and good intentions are evident throughout. The story begins well, however as it progresses some pretty big flaws with the storyline start to appear as it strays way beyond the bounds of believability. The further into the book I got, the more I found myself speed reading through sections which just seemed preposterous. However, I did have enough interest to want to read till the end, so for that and the good bits I have given it three stars. I noticed some editing issues, but all pretty minor. If you're a reader who can cope with very unlikely plot developments then you'll probably enjoy this, for others it will be an eye-rolling experience.
