![]() ![]() ![]() the real clincher that makes this story one that i didn't want to stop listening to, of course, was the moral ambiguity going on in both places.in the ranks of the military, in the marriages and familial relationships of the characters, on almost every page of this novel. ![]() i think this would make a great film.with all the intrigue and deception and secrets going on inside the house.and all the devastation and disagreement going on outside the house. i think the characters were a bit one dimensional.but i honestly liked the story enough that it didn't matter all that much. this sets off a series of relationships and events that don't really surprise the reader, but definitely made me think about situations and experiences.wondering how i'd behave in each of the subsequent character's places. a British Colonel sets his family and home up alongside the previous German occupants (and rightful owners of the property) instead of sending them to the camps. the setting is post World War 2 Hamburg.where British soldiers are requisitioning German homes while they attempt to tear down and rebuild the city. ![]() about humanity, and war and nationality and morals.and right and wrong. Thought provoking novel about morals and war ![]()
