I am not sure why Authors decide to have a timeline for the story that jumps all over the place. It really does take a while for the reader to 'get into the groove of the story'. This book is no exception and while it is fairly obvious who is what from the past, it was 90% of the book before it is revealed to the reader.Narrated in the first person, this is an excellent plot and a good story, just marred (for me) by not having a logical timeline.Some good research into the Nazi elements of the story and I understand this is a translation from the original French? If so, the translation is seamless and you would never realise this, as the English is excellent.Don't be put off by the first quarter of the book jumping from the 1930's to the present day and back, it all comes together as a good read.
