Another WWII set in Germany. Am I developing a fixation? I won't say more, because of spoilers. But it won't leave me. I have two copies (internet ordering accident) so if anyone wants it?

The title is the same.

Bara thanks for offering! But I don't want you to pay shipping to the US! I'll just pick it up at the library.

MTA Goalie, I looked it up, it's very recent, too! Here's the trailer.

Sounds like an interesting book and movie.

Here's the Brit trailer .. It has interviews with the director and the author. I don't THINK it has spoilers - but it has a bit more info, so make your choice before you click!

Thanks for the suggestion, Bara. I'm taking it to school to put on the shelf for the students to read. (high school students...)

Glad you liked it, Filly. Well, 'like' is the wrong word. Glad it moved you.

I was emailing with my SIL yesterday and asked her if she'd read it as a sort of 'stream of consciousness' thought. Then changed that to 'stream of conscienceness'.

No matter how bad things get in our domestic lives, I'll always hold the thought that I never had to ride that train to 'Out-With'.
