Fascinating Insight into a Childhood in Captivity
|
|
Taking into account the almost miraculous memory that the author must have (she was a very young child at the time), this book was a fascinating insight into a childhood in captivity. The descriptions are vivid and the portrayals of camp life are quaintly skewed to a child's perspective which precludes much of the cruelty which must have been far more apparent to adults in the camp. That said, the portrayal of the entire family and the sacrifices made by the mother are touching and provide and insight into a moment in history where ordinary people led extraordinary lives.
