Product review: This was OK, very sparsely written, probably intentionally so, about two Jewish sisters trying to hide in Germany during World War II. There were too many characters, too many names that appeared for only a page or two. And what she says was the most harrowing experience of the whole journey, that "brought us to the edge of the abyss" is glossed over in a few paragraphs. It just wasn't detailed enough for me, in spite of the obvious richness of experience there must have been. It was as if the author was compelled to write this, but not too much, or it would be too painful. Like reading a journalist's account, not a novelist's. The author was perhaps too close to the material to do it justice. It was in the Hemmingway style, sparse and terse. Were it not for the journey related, the writing would not be good. A much better book to read on this subject, and an autobiography, is "100 Cigarettes and a bottle of vodka" by Arthur Schaller.
