I can't say enough about this book! It engages one immediately, carries you back in time while feeling current, and dazzles you with profound poetic symbolism. It is a look at a pivotal time and place in an up-close and personal way. Her writing is amazing - while seeming effortless in its story lines and character development, it has a deep richness to savor. It would make a great film!
What a great book! Too bad it's out of print...

Ingeborg Lauterstein is a brilliant writer, and this is a horrible/fabulous fairytale of a horrible/fabulous time inhistory. It reminds me a little of "The Tin Drum," droll andat the same time extremely touching; it is about how a child survives trauma through imagination.
