This is a difficult book to review. In part, that is because of the subject-matter: it covers the actions of Herr Oscar Schindler both before and during the Second World War, which is never an easy period of history to explore. However, part of the difficulty also lies with the writing, which is a combination of semi-fictionalisation and survivor-memoir and therefore tends to alternate between forward-looking prophecy and intimate chronological detail. It's not a style I have encountered before, but it works well for the subject matter, although it makes the - novel? - difficult to follow at times and hard to become absorbed by. Still a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the period.
