What a wonderful writer. The author has a way of writing that almost made me feel I was experiencing this book as a dream, almost through a vignette. I usually stray away from books dealing with the Nazis because it is so heinous to me and I have explored that period many times. However, this story originating in Hungary gave me even more perspective of what historically happened. Having my heritage being part Hungarian, it was interesting to see that part of the world. My mother was fortunate to be in the U.S. at that time but it made me wonder when and why her father emigrated to America, what kind of things were occurring to send him here. A beautiful ending to the book and a moment of self discovery for the young, now old man.
