Blurb on back cover says:

"It is September 1944; the war is going badly for the Germans, and they are in a hurry to complete their "final solution". Compromises are being made on all sides, conditions are unspeakable, rumours are rife, but nothing definite is known of the Nazi's intentions. On the outskirts of a concentration camp in northern Bohemia three people - two eighteen year old men and a desperately lost young woman, Leah - are thrown together, sharing their precarious existence in an attic room. While the world disintegrates around them their interactions are charged with passion, their days filled with erotic and spiritual attraction. Caught in the web of their relationships, their futures are uncertain and any choices they have left to make will be made in the face of certain death..."

Wonderfully written, this book is thought provoking and raises all sorts of questions you would hope to never has to ask yourself. The characterisation is quite wonderful and illustrates human nature at is best and at its worst.

Posted today to Annodyne as part of a mutually agreed book swap for "A Cooks Tour" by Anthony Bourdain.

Thank you to Jinglefish for sending this together with Goodbye Tsugumi. I'm looking forward to reading this soon as well.

I was so disappointed in what was for me anyway, mercifully a short read. Heavy with dialogue that I had difficulty following somehow, the writing only really seemed to grip me in the last half dozen pages. I have read several great books about the Holocaust, and sadly, this is not one of them.

Putting Waiting For Leah in Reserved, hoping to find it a more appreciative future reader...

Very pleased to have a chance to release this book back into the wild after such a long time with me.
