This book starts where all the other books stop: The end of the nazi regime. It's not really over when the war ends, is it? There are starving prisoners everywhere. Fleeing nazi's. American soldiers. And 'normal' German citizens trying to figure out their new position in all of this. It was a bit annoying that the main character 'did the right thing' from the beginning of the book, she stood out, she wasn't a typical German woman because of this. Also didn't care for the Christian sauce where all the main characters needed to find God, but overall it was a very interesting read.
