Jews, the Third Reich, and a Web of Secrets, Book 2
Ms. Kagan knows how to pen a story that will pull you in from the start and keeps you captive till you reached the conclusion ... then you are left there wondering what comes next...I never felt lost not knowing what had previously happened in “Her Son’s Secret” book #1 but now I wish I had known that book#2 picked up where book#1 left...
The principal characters:
Kara (the mother), Karl (the son) and Oskar (SS officer)
In a few words what to expect:
Four year old Karl suddenly disappears launching an increasingly frustrating search. Oskar will do anything for Kara’s love; his empathy towards the situation is in absolute contrast to the macabre nature of an officer. What game is Oskar playing?
My thoughts:
What a captivating story. For most part I wanted so much for Kara to see through Oskar but he was so conniving that she never did. I felt like screaming open your eyes...but again I had the advantage as the reader to see Oskar’s side. I felt the pain Kara had losing her son and the torment she suffered not knowing if he was dead or alive. The emotions get to you...and behind all this is Oskar... This story is a terrifying look at how manipulative and cunning some can be. Oskar in front of Kara is a sweet and loveable man but deep down he is a devious and cruel individual.
Ms. Kagan writing style is simple and easy to follow. The narrative pulls you in from the start and serves to drive the sheer anguish felt by many. This is another poignant war story.
I received this book from the Book Whisperer for an honest and unbiased review
