The Women in the Castle by Jessica Shattuck

3.0

3.5 but I’d rather round down than up. Perfectly fine story, made mildly more interesting by being a story about German women during WW2 rather than French or English as most books seem to be at the moment. Interesting study of guilt, forgiveness, redemption, friendship but ultimately it just felt a little flat for me. I found it much less emotionally impactful than expected. It just felt a bit cold. Didn’t live up to the hype for me.
