I loved The Lost Diary by Rose Alexander.
Two riveting stories form the past combine with a more recent dilemma.
This story covers three of the
grimmest aspects of World War II, aspects not often covered in mass market lit:
the Death Marches, German civilian refugees and rapes by Russian soldiers.
The personal story of Katja and Lou is gripping and we
are kept guessing right until the very end.
The framework is of Katja at last
telling her daughter Jo the true story of what happened to her and of Jo
reading Lou’s story in the forgotten diary.
There is surprise after surprise.
Jo too has her problems but realises
that they are of little significance compared to what happened to her parents.
Yet Katja’s narration of what
happened also helps to solve Jo’s problems.
A fantastic read
