Journal Entry 1 by amberC from Darwin, Northern Territory Australia on Friday, May 1, 2009
Inspired by the unpublished diary of a Prussian woman who fled west in 1945, the novel exhumes the ruin of spirit, flesh and faith that accompanied thousands of such desperate journeys. Prussian aristocrat Rolf Emmerich and his two elder sons are sent into battle, while his wife flees with their other children and a Scottish POW who has been working on their estate. Before long, they meet up with Uri Singer, a Jewish escapee from an Auschwitz-bound train, who becomes the group's protector. In a parallel story line, hundreds of Jewish women shuffle west on a gruesome death march from a concentration camp. Bohjalian presents the difficulties confronting both sets of travelers with carefully researched detail and an unflinching eye.

This has been on the shelf for way too long feeling neglected and is crying out for a new home, so decided to hitch a ride cross country. I know you’ve enjoyed a couple of his jeniwren, so here’s hoping you don’t have this one.
