More About Wartime Lies
I was made aware of this book some time ago in terms of "the film Kubrick never made."I finally found a copy on a trip to NY some years ago and have just re-read it.Following the story of a young boy and his aunt as they attempt to hide from the Nazis - they have to pass themselves off as Aryans.A good read, short, and entirely seen... This is a good book about a Jewish boy, his aunt, and his family during WWII in Poland. It tells how they hid, lived, and survived the war. It gives you a good sense of how someone with a strong will can find a way to live. The ending of the story pretty much tells you what it takes to survive. You have to become a new person. Very solid historical fiction. Terrific character in the aunt of the narrator, who shows incredible ingenuity in getting hte family through the war. But ultimately too non-fictiony in its descriptions - just felt long in places with little fictional dressing to keep it interesting enough.
