Title: Wounds that do not heal . . .
Review: Those Who Save Us is an outstanding novel. No more need be said.Rarely have I encountered a character better drawn than Anna. My heart bleeds for her.I felt the only weakness in the book was the character of Mr. Pfeiffer toward the very end of the book. Obviously the author needed some device to reveal the truth to Trudy since Anna simply could not do it, but I found Mr. Pfeiffer too rich and not nearly remorseful enough for his own "sins" of profit when helping Jews escape the Nazi's. Personally, I would have preferred this character, rather than being wealthy and with the past he had, to have been simply a prisoner who escaped with his life from the camp. This book, however, is so good I happily overlooked what I consider a minor flaw, all things considered.
Is the review positive or negative?
