By the time I got to the last section of this book, I was crying, which is my usual way of distinguishing a 5-star book from a 4-star one.

Either way, I loved this book. The characters are warm and seem real, the narration is quirky, and the setting of Nazi Germany is painted very matter-of-factly, which I appreciated. I am on a boat with an Internet connection that didn't even exist up to here, so I might leave this here, but regardless – excellent book.
