The author has an extraordinary ability. He sheds light on the darkest days of 1938 through characters which are so utterly believable my heart was full of love or hate for them. The Nazi atrocities to the Jews, and the inept British response to their cries for help, make powerful and poignant reading.
Anyone who enjoyed reading Munich (by Robert Harris) and Charlotte Gray (by Sebastian Faulks) will find this novel compulsive and compelling. Geoffrey Charin outwrites Harris and Faulks with apparent ease.

Does a good job of capturing the era and the atmosphere of the times. Thanks for letting me read it.
