I enjoyed the book, especially Minka's story. A story that was apparently culled from many jewish people's experiences in concentration camps during the last war. It was a horrifying read. All persons were fictional characters and with this author her stories always make you think...what would you do? In this case a 95 year old ex-Nazi is openly living his life under an assumed name and he begs his new friend (the agnostic granddaughter of a jewish holocaust survivor) for forgiveness and then to kill him.

I usually prevaricate and think I don't know what I would or should do but in this story all I could think was, do not forgive and report the bastard but with this author nothing is ever really quite so straightforward!

I received the book yesterday. Thank you very much, RedDahlia, for sending it. It's now sitting on a stack of books, waiting to be read. I hope to get to it as soon as possible.

I have already read the book a while ago, but didn't get to making a journal entry up to now. I found the story very impressing. Jodi Picoult's books are nearly always very good, very well thought out and very well researched. This one is, too.
