I picked this book up randomly from my stacks and stacks of books when I couldn't decide what to read next. I just decided to grab something and read it. I was pleasantly surprised. The book covers 3 generations, well, 4 really counting the grandparents. It starts in Berlin, Germany in 1938 and continues on as sisters are forced to flee Nazi Germany to America. The characters are well drawn and I just couldn't put the book down. I read it in one day. And, though I finished it last night, I'm still pondering it today. There is a big secret revealed at the end. I didn't see it coming at all, yet in hindsight it seems perfectly logical. It wasn't something just thrown in for shock value. This was my first book by this author, I only hope her others are as good.    hide
