The cover of this one is what attracted me. It’s so intriguing! However, I’m not sure I would like the fairy tale theme, so I’m a bit hesitant.

SmallWorld – Great!

Nymeth – Oh good. I’m going to have to go read your review.

Little Miao – There is so much Holocaust literature out there that it’s hard to keep track of them.

Debi – You’re welcome! I’m glad you’re going to read it.

CB James – You’re welcome!

Sarah – Yes, move it up. It was a quick read too.

Melody – I can’t wait to hear what you think of it.

Kathleen – You’re so very welcome. Yours was the package that for some odd reason took me forever to get out. I’m glad you enjoyed it!

Kimberley – I’m a BYU alumn as well! Yay! Thanks for stopping by, I love “new” people!

Darlene – Thanks so much for leaving a comment as well! I hope you stop by often. I’ll make sure your blog is in my reader.

Girl Detective – Thanks for the warning on Tam Lin and I shall have to look into Shoah.

This little book impressed me a lot. I think there’s much to be said about how the Holocaust is more accessible indirectly, in fictional and mythical ways than it is in “truth”. The documentary she refers to, Shoah, gets into that, too.

In case you’re tempted, I’d skip Tam Lin from the same series. Much longer, and less effective.

Hi Natasha – nice to *meet* you! You’ve got a great book review site and I was interested to see that you live in Utah. My hubby and I are both alumni of BYU. Love that school!
I’m going to add your site to my Bloglines so I can keep up with your reviews.
I also read a ton of Holocaust books when I was growing up, but have never read this one. Bad me!It’s on my list now.
Have a good one,
Kimberley
