At the Wolf's Table by Rosella Postorino

5.0

I’m in looooove with this book.
it’s based slightly on a true story which sends shivers up my spine. I can’t imagine being forced to be a food taster, not knowing that the meal in front of you could be your last.

This book was so fast paced and it would take 3 hours max to finish. It took me 3 days because everytime I picked up the book life’s responsibilities called so that sucked but I’m glad I took 3 days to read it because savouring this book was worth it!

Apie moterų draugystę ir santykius, apie Rozos norą tapti motina, apie meilę. Lavai atviros mintys, pažįsti veikėją kaip nuluptą. Įdomi istorija, knyga kitokia nei kitos apie šį laikmetį. Tikrai ne istorinė. Išvystyti veikėjai, kartu unikalūs ir stereotipiniai. Pasiilgau Elfrydos. Roza yra thought daughter. Nacistai ir nenacistai vokiečiai. Apie santykius su kitais ir su savimi, tamsiai, skausmingai realiai.

I liked this one, but it didn't live up to the anticipation. I hope to do a re-read of it in the future when I'm more in the mood for historical fiction.
