If I had known this book existed about a month ago, when I listened to Code Name Verity, I would have picked it up automatically. That being said I'm very glad I randomly found this on the library shelf because it is absoultely brilliant, so utterly heartbreaking to listen to, and a book you will ne...

When I try to write about this, it ends up being a huge blurt about my feelings on fictional Holocaust narratives rather than about the book. So I'll just say that I do think this has the right combination of horror and hope -- not as a general guideline for Holocaust lit, but for the story it's te...

If you haven't read CNV, then I'm sure you've at least heard the raves, and based on Wein's writing in Rose Under Fire, the ra...
