Title: Depressing and lacking
Review: Lacking. The lack of quotations around the dialogue wasn't the only thing missing. Missing from this book were characters behaving in accordance with their character. The biggest character inconsistency being Max. Max would not have gotten Anna pregnant nor would he have hidden in her stairwell and put her in danger.Depressing. I can honestly say that this is the most depressing book I have ever read. What a sad and miserable life for Anna. She prostituted herself for her and her daughter to live (first with the Nazi and then the farmer) and for all her sacrifice, her daughter doesn't even love/know/understand/want to spend time with her. It's a sad and miserable life for Trudie as well. Fifty years old and pretty much alone.
