But that doesn't mean it's not essential, however easy it is to fail to engage. If you can tell me of more books that put you in the mind and into the actions of a young, female righteous gentile against Nazi Jew-hunters, I'd like to hear of them. You'll notice [[:Category:John Boyne|John Boyne's]] name on the book, as for this edition he provides a spoilerific prologue, purely because of his [[The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas by John Boyne|The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas]], but whereas he got it perfectly right, a straight-styled fable to wrench the heart of all, concerning a kid in Nazi times, this only got halfway for me. But even to start on that path - to show the horrors of civilian life in wartime, to convey real-life ethnic cleansing with the truth to back you up - is better than to never try to walk that line at all.

I must thank the publishers for my review copy.
