What Members Thought
Parenthesized (is that a word?) by prologue and epilogue of a young boy's connection to his mother, is the story of a girl/young woman during the early part of the 20th Century in and around Berlin. It covers two wars and the liberal era in the '20s and early '30s.
When I started the book, I asked myself to predict what the would title mean. Loving without seeing, loving to distraction, unable to not-love? Or closing off the heart and preventing love, avoiding it? Or both? Or more?
