I thoroughly enjoyed this book! The storyline shifts back and forth between Germany in the 1940's and the U.S. in the 1990's. It compares and contrasts the lives of a mother and her daughter. Some of the themes included in this book are a Nazi experience vs. a Jewish experience during and after the war, family secrets, things done for survival as a single mother, and caring for an aging parent. Characters and events felt authentic. Written by Jenna Blum, an interviewer of Holocaust survivors for Steven Spielberg's Survivors of the Shoah Visual History Foundation. Definitely worth a read!
