Wow. What a great book. The story of 3 women, before, during, and in the aftermath of WWII, who survive after the war by living together with their children in an old castle. Throughout, the book explores the questions of morality and ethics in the face of Hitler’s rise to power, the Holocaust, and the war. Moving stories of “ordinary Germans” and th decisions they made, or did not make, during those times. Very powerful book, particularly in this era of Trump’s America.
