Where does one draw the line?

A decent read. Kept me interested. Toward the end, I figured out what the Maestro had been doing (I can’t say more without giving it away), however after having read the very last page, I thought “You’ve got to be kidding.”
There are those of us in the world who are capable of forgiving the most heinous sins. . . and there are those of us who are not.

Waste of money

Short novel, likely self-published, written by a mediocre talent. The story was not at all compelling, and I was disappointed to have wasted my money on it.

A lot of food for thought here.

A short novel, but worth the read. I've always wondered how the Nazi collaborators during WWII justified what they did. This is the tale of one such woman. It made me question if sometimes we are too quick to label someone as a "monster."

morality during war?

Exciting story of a music conductor caught up in Vichy France as a young man, and how it altered his life. It makes the reader think about culpability versus moral responsibilities to other people, even though their actions were reprehensible. What would you have done?

It's a good book! Just not for me.

I think it's a good book and worth the read but I also think it's just not for me. I connected to the characters in one way or the other but when the book was over I wasn't feeling overly excited about it. I will read it again later in life for sure
