Great historical fiction. Another holocaust story but told from the perspective of a German woman forced into serving as a high-ranking nazi officer's mistress in order for her to survive and to care for her young child (from an affair with a Jewish man she had hidden but who was discovered and sent to the camp.) The book alternates back and forth between present day in which the young child has grown up to be a history professor and the war years which works very well in unraveling the story slowly.
