It's literally my job to know how to talk about books, but don't ask me to explain what this is about or why it's so good. I mean, I can say it's German historical fiction, but that doesn't do anything to explain why it's so special. Everything just works in this beautiful alchemy. So read it. By which I mean read or listen. I did a bit of both. The narrator is excellent.
