Very good. However not four stars, nearer 3.5. Sajer could have slowed the pace a little bit. He never gets back to Paula at all and he accepts, at face value, some huge German lies.

Another holiday read. Interesting from a factual point of view but lacks something. I liked it but found it too easy to put down. Hence the three stars.

“We felt like lost souls, who had forgotten that men are made for something else, that time exists, and hope, and sentiments other than anguish; that friendship can be more than ephemeral, that love can sometimes occur, that the earth can be productive, and used for something other than burying the dead.”

Have tried a number of times with this, but still mystified at the regard with which it's held. Can only lay so much at the door of a bad translator?

Only happy people have nightmares, from overeating. For those who live a nightmare reality, sleep is a black hole, lost in time, like death.
