The Silver Music Box by Mina Baites
4.0
It's been a long time since I had a good cry from a book and this one did it.
Germany in the 1930s when Hitler was gaining hold of the population and hate and division were growing, the Blumenthal family, gold and silversmiths, had a successful business, friends, a social position, and security. As circumstances changed and their lives and livelihood were compromised they chose to escape. Their challenges and how those events affected others in Europe and as far away as South Africa make for fascinating reading and provide an emotional conclusion.
