This novel has everything a great novel, the story of a little girl in Germany in the 40s that will be collected by a couple. At first I was afraid to find myself facing a depressing book, but quite the reverse, even if the events are fatally dramatic, this book gives hope. He praises the loyalty which can show some people deal with the unacceptable. In addition, each character is full of life and author with a refined style of writing can make us travel back in time and make beauty to a time when everything could be black! While originally this novel is aimed at teens, it can be read with pleasure by adults!
