it was ok
bookshelves: author-germany, culture-germany

Olga's story is told in the first half of the book. Then the second half is narrated by a man who's family used Olga as a seamstress and he became a friend with her for the rest of her life. A lot of Olga's life is repeated until the narrator gets hold of some old Olga letters and her secret is revealed.
So the first half was good. The second mystifyingly boring.

Greg I shall skip.


Lizzie I agree! I just didn’t understand why the second half was so full when the first half was so good!
