Happy to find this nice quality extra copy to share. (Noticed on my bookshelf I've registered and released 6 copies of this book!)
a powerful, disturbing book that left a strong impression on me when I read it.
"Trudi Montag is a Zwerg (dwarf) - short, undesirable, different, the voice of anyone who has ever tried to fit in...."

rabck from JDT; LMIC book club Oct 08; Set in Germany from 1915 - 1952, so spans the two wars. Trudi is a Zwerg - a dwarf - who’s father was injured in WWI and now owns a pay-library. Her mother became mentally ill after her birth, institutionalized several times before she passes away. Hegi draws in the villagers of Burgdorf, their eccentricites, hate and kindness to each other, before starting in to the difficult subject of the atrocities of the war. While the camps were built far away, the suspicion, eviction of certain "undesirables" from their homes and the paralysis of most of the villagers to help for fear they'd be next, was hard to read.
