A review by afterhours
La casa sul lago by Thomas Harding

4.0

Great book about the lives of the lake house tenants with a war history of Germany in the background. A real eye-opener to what it was like to live behind the Wall in West and East Germany under the Soviet supervision. I was very impressed with the author's motivation and strength for undertaking such an enormous task of digging up the long forgotten history of his family, searching out the witnesses, collecting the information and eventually writing up the book. Pleased to read about the final solution as to the house and its comeback to the rightful owners.
