Review by Tom U.
Who would like this book? You will like this book if you like irony, tragedy, or World War II.
Why? This story is from Eleanor’s point of view of her time in Germany. It starts just before World War 2 and when Eleanor is 9 years old. Also it talks about how Hitler used all of Germany’s money for weapons to conquer the rest of the world instead of helping his country’s economy. It explains some of the hardships and challenges of living in a warzone. The book talks about challenges in Germany in that time. Also Eleanor’s family moved a lot around Germany because of the war and dangers of living in Berlin.
The details: 1999, 269 p. Submitted by Tom
