Sweeping saga of woman growing up in post-WWI in Germany. She happens to be a dwarf, but she is also very intelligent, insightful, and interesting. Her story gives a haunting picture of life before and after WWII in Germany,the ways that prejudice and moralistic ideas held sway and the results of it all. I was riveted.
