This book was intriguing, to say the least -- about a dwarf woman in Nazi Germany. Now THAT'S a new subject! I liked the portrayal of the characters -- it was very rich, very detailed. My biggest complaint was concerning the ending, though -- it seemed almost as if Ms. Hegi just got tired of writing this story and quit! Which ALWAYS sticks in my craw -- if I am going to invest that much time (not to mention, emotion) on a story, it better darn-well have a coherent ending.

I loved this book, loved the way it tells the story of the affect the Holocaust had on the non-Jewish community. The main character, Trudi is a dwarf which also adds an interesting dimension to the story. I've tried to read other things by Hegi since reading this but have not been able to finish any of them, none of them seemed to come together the way this one did.
