I will certainly read more of this novel in the future as I am a big fan of historical fiction.

- Latest Review: You Say Goodbye by Keith Steinbaum
I´m a huge WWII reader and the plot on this one is original, plus Rolf sounds like a very interesting character.
And, if it made you feel and even shed a few tears, it must be a great book.
Thank you! It goes to my to-read shelf.

This kind of detail is what makes a book, for me. Even flawed characters, like Rolf, who we know right away is liar and somewhat of a scoundrel, must have some good in them to carry a novel successfully.The author introduces the well-developed characters with a detailed background of their lives. What I liked most about this book was that as I read it, I got so engrossed in it that I felt like I was actually a silent character who was following the protagonist everywhere. I empathized with him and felt his pain. The author describes the war like it was actually happening in the present time. Reading this book has made me respect soldiers and appreciate their willingness to defend their countries at whatever cost. I also learned that some soldiers go to war, not because they are willing, but because they are considered fit and able by their governments.
Thanks for your thoughtful review.
