The writing may be a little rough in places, but the story makes up for it a million times over. Regina Wolff is one of the most incredible people I have ever heard of. Though just a mere housewife, desperate circumstances push her to fight for and protect her children through WWII (and beyond) at all costs and grow into a fiercely brave pioneer who understands love at a level far beyond giggles and butterflies. Best of all (and worst of all), her story is true.Excellent book about a delicate young German mother who is forced to smuggle her three small boys our of East Prussia when the Russians surround it in 1944. It takes place in WW II during the Nazi rule. I highly recommend this book.
This was a good book from a perspective you don't hear about that often, a German citizen during WWII. However, I know the book was based on a true story but the fact that the father was never held accountable for his war crimes left a sour taste in my mouth. Still, the main character was believable and her adventure was gripping.
I loved this book. I sent it to friends in the mail to get them to read it. They agreed. It's a beautiful, poignant story from a perspective rarely accessed in America. I highly recommend it.
I had to read this book for a book club, and it was a little disappointing. It sounds like a good story--mother escaping approaching Russians in Germany in WWII with her three small sons--but I didn't like the characters or the writing. The writing was very simplistic and the characters were flat. The protagonist was simpering and too devoted to her scumbag husband for me to like her.
Written by a local Co Springs author with good but not great writing. However, this true story is powerful, inspiring, and really gave me added insight into the thoughts of post-WWII Germans and their hidden shame. The author is related to the main characters, and I was able to meet her and hear this incredible story first hand.
This is an interesting story that shows what the German people endured during WWII. This courageous German woman sacrifices all to protect her children to escape from the Russian occupied portion of Prussia. Great book for those interested in history and in women's literature. Unfortunately, there is a dark side that reveals many SS and Gestapo officers escaped retribution for their crimes. The story is beautifully written with a twist at the end
