The S.S. in the book use a few German cuss words. The story takes place during the holocaust. So what can you expect?
Characterization Plot Overall Rating
After reading this book expect to feel emotionally burnt out. I would highly recommend reading this book though. Livia is a great writer and you will learn so much by reading this. You will feel strongly for Livia when she is in the camp and elsewhere.
