![]() ![]() A few stop in to see if they can get a bite of food. They pass by alone or in groups, walking or with some sort of vehicle. Various people come past on the roads in front of the Georgenhoff, an old and now rundown family estate not too far from Koenigsberg which was then in East Prussia, Germany, or Prussia and then Poland, but is now a part of Russia. We, the readers of the 21st century, know what’s going to happen but the characters don’t although they certainly suspect that’s in the works. It’s amazing what a good author can do – because the setting is 1945 in northern East Prussia just as the Russians are about to march through en route to Berlin. And yes, almost every night for weeks I would curl up with it, become enchanted and promptly fallen asleep.Īhhhh… it is so good I wanted to crawl into it and curl up to live there – and stop time. ![]() I’ve been reading this book for a long time – there is no Audible available for it so I have the Kindle version and I went to bed each night meaning to get a bit more read. ![]()
