Struggled through the first half, then loved the second half so much it made me want to start over and re-read the beginning. Kingsolver proves that history repeats itself with her portrayal of media and politics. Great characters (fictional and otherwise). Beautiful imagery. Wonderful writing.
having had the holocaust pounded into my head since before i can remember, it was until i read this book that i finally understood how it happened-- how people could not see it coming until it was on top of them. this book will transport you to pre-holocaust germany and take away all of you 20/20 hindsight and leave you with only the devices of everyday people who had no idea what was in store for them. this book is the reason i love historical fiction. i'm always surprised more people haven't read this book. please read this book.
