I owned this for ages before I actually read it, because I was wondering if I really wanted to read another holocaust novel. Well, this book has a lot else to offer the genre. It is a dual timeline book, with unlikable but compelling characters, an unpredictable plot and a a fresh feel. Liam Pieper's skills as a writer allow the reader to take this journey with him, one that, in the hands of a less capable author, might be a little outlandish. I'm glad I finally took this off the bottom of my TBR pile.
