Skeletons at the Feast

An interesting new twist in stories of the Holocaust. I've read several, mostly from survivors' points of view. This story (based on the diary of a German family's matriarch) takes you to a group of diverse people all fleeing the invasion of the Russians: an aristocratic, wealthy German family, a POW, a Jew disguised as a German officer, and also the story of a survivor of the camps. Their individual stories all converge. Highly recommend this book! D.
