A review by issielovesreading
American Dirt German by Jeanine Cummins

5.0

My friend gave me this book as a birthday present, because we were walking past it once and I didn’t buy it, even tho I really liked it, so she got it for me.

Mainly two characters are in the foreground here: Lydia and her son Luca, who went through a lot in their lives and had to watch it. Lydia owned a small bookstore, which I admired most about her, especially her book taste and her way of dealing with words. In general, the spelling is reflected in her novel. The emotions, especially fears, are described very discreetly and are therefore more understandable. You are taken away in the plot and can follow the story. The lessons, the experiences, people, words.. All that applies to the two in this story, all this can be witnessed.

I enjoined reading it a lot, even if it did break my heart in the beginning..
