What the heck is a German glance? I have a German mother, I was raised and educated in Germany but I do not understand what a German glance is... a recurring action in this tomb. There were other fantastic and non-German colloquialisms but too many to list.
I could not wrap my mind around this story because it did not capture the German culture well especially women... an american author portraying German women during the war is just not feasible. I wanted to like this book, I trudged through it and to be fair I finished it (I cringed a lot).
