A 20 year awaited sequel to The Boy in Striped Pajamas, readers are finally given the view of Gretel's life after the war leading up to present day (told from 2 POV - past and present). While Gretel wasn't always a likeable character, I felt for Gretel as she navigated post war feelings of grief, remorse, fear and culpability living the life of a Nazi Commandant's daughter on the run. It was also an interesting viewpoint into the surviving family members of Nazi's. Are they also guilty of the crimes perpetrated by their fathers?
4.5 stars rounded to 5. I wasn't the hugest fan of the ending.
