Trigger warnings: Genocide, violence, racism, war, child death.
While this was not one of the biggest standout WWII novels I've read, there were definitely aspects of it that really left an impression. I felt the pace was a little too slow, but the characters were rich and multidimensional and I felt like I was reading about real people. This is definitely not for the faint of heart, but it's an important read, albeit a slightly plodding one.
