Oh, this was very good. A bit sad, of course, considering the subject matter, but it certainly has been continuing the theme of the last few books that I have read - of mothers and daughters. I suppose the most disappointing thing of the whole book was how Anna locked everything away and let the shame of loving Horst overwhelm everything else - including the relationship with her own daughter. Still, it was an engrossing story and the only real downside was that it was written in the European style of not using quotation marks, which slowed things down a bit. Still, I would most certainly read other books by her - especially since I don't think she will abandon this subject.
