Opis

A memoir exploring a brother's death fighting for the SS and one ordinary family's relationship with Nazi rule.

Recenzje

'There is something of a nightmarish quality in Timm's powerful memoir of the elder brother he lost in the war ... The tone throughout is tender but unsentimental. And in the hands of Timm, now a distinguished writer, this domestic drama serves as a microcosm of the German catastrophe' Sunday Telegraph
