This book is an interesting story which follows three widows during Hitler's rise to power and in the years after the war. There are insights into the brutality of that time, but it is more of a character study on how one lives through such a time; daring to ask the question: Does one recognize evil as it unfolds or simply fight to survive? "These faces are no longer broken into good or bad... (rather) a collection of chances and circumstances." p. 332
