Generally speaking, I am drawn by anything historical...  and even more so by World War II and even more so by the holocaust.  I was expecting some soft of "day in the life" kind of tale with a birds-eye accounting of what life was like in 30's and 40's Europe.  And is it that... to a point.What it really is is a touching and moving account of one woman.  She is no ordinary woman.  She is a woman of the world, a woman who has desires and goals and achieves things as much as she fails at them.  The story is told in a moving style that brings you along for the ride through all of Felice's ups and downs.One of the bigger thrills for me was hearing all about her amassing such a wonderful collection of artwork.  I'm such a big art lover that this was thrilling for me.  I love watching those "Nazi Art" documentaries and World War II lost art shows.  This story brought a fresh perspective on art in the twentieth century for me.I highly recommend this book for anyone who loves word-of-mouth stories, compelling history or just a good pulled-myself-up-by-mybootstraps tale!
