This book was unbelievably good! It took me a bit to get into it but once I was hooked, I couldn't read it fast enough. It was disconcerting at times, but then I had to remember that the story is told from a Hungarian point of view and that it is different from mine. At some points, I thought, this cannot be--the constant highs and lows--the despair and sadness---but then you remember that the holocaust and WW2 are real and that the continual upheaval were probably pretty accurate. I cried through the last 50-75 pages of the book, but it is definitely a book to read and remember!
