A review by ahughes87
The German House by Annette Hess
4.0
Any historical fiction based on the German ideology during WWII always grabs my attention. After reading so many different stories over the years, I never will fully grasp how/why or why a large mass of people could do such unthinkable things to another group of human beings. But this new debut novel by Annette Hess sheds light on the tender subject from a different angle: a full-blooded blonde-haired German girl must sit through the Auschwitz trial and serve as a translator. At the end of every workday, she returns to her very dedicated German family who owns and runs one of the best restaurants in Frankfurt. Eva Bruhns must come home each evening to a family that refuses to believe the stories, makes excuses and continues to belittle Eva. This is a novel that will stay with you forever, imprinted on your mind, a history that can never to be forgotten. I received an advance copy of this book from Bookish First in exchange for an unbiased review. Thanks so much to Harper Collins and Bookish First for making this title available.
