The more I read about WWII, the more I see the similarities of experiences, whether the person is from Germany, Poland, Russia, France, England, Japan, China, the US, etc. Each person's experience is unique and yet over and over the victims seem to tell of the same story and the persecutors seem to react in the same manner. In all, I guess it shows that humans are humans no matter where you're from, what language you speak, what religion you practice. In Chiger's story, I learned a little more about what the Polish Jews experienced, both at the hands of the Ukrainians/Russians as well as the Germans. It was an "out of the frying pan into the fire" kind of situation for these Jews. And I appreciated a new and different viewpoint. I continually went back in my head and compared stories from Sarah's Key and The Book Thief. Each story was told through the eyes of young Jewish girl, each surviving in various parts of Europe. Each story sadly too similar and yet each girl showed remarkable strength and fortitude in times of extreme duress. The only "dislike" I have to say about the book is that it was not well edited. Chiger tended to repeat herself, at times word-for-word. I found this to be distracting to the point of irritating. Also, the beginning--her life before the war began--took too long. While I can't imagine the suffering she went through, the dramatic fall from upper middle classdom to living in the bowels of the sewers lacked emotional punch. I had to just tell myself it was like listening to a slightly senile grandma telling her story for the 500th time--she may repeat herself and you just need to be patient. I am glad to have read this story. This one, as with ALL WWII survivors needs to be told. History repeats itself because we do not pay attention. Our ignorance allows us to miss the telltale signs that bad things will happen if we continue along a certain path. So I hope people continue to tell their stories and more importantly, we continue to read them. I also hope editors do a little bit better job in ensuring these stories are told compellingly enough so that people stop and listen.

** spoiler alert ** Tom Thorne is quickly becoming my favourite detective. There's something about his attitude to his work, to the victims that really grabs hold of me. His frustration towards his work is overpowering at times. Here we find him dealing with a series of murders of ex-cons. All of them ex-rapists, who are themselves raped and strangled. The reason behind the killings is slowly revealed through flashbacks and the point of view of others and culminates in a truly disturbing encounter for Thorne. I don't think I've read anything where the 'hero' of piece is placed in such a vulnerable position (literally) and I can't help but think of Tom in a slightly different light now - he's become a victim himself (just not violated in the same way as most of the victims he had to deal with - although very nearly was). In fact that vulnerability seems to be a theme throughout the book, from Holland - terrified at becoming a father, Stone - dealing with his own sexual desires, Kitson - who obviously had something to hide, to Tom's father - trying to come to terms with his illness. We also see the introduction of the 'Crinkly Squad', or Carol, a retired police officer called back into service to look at cold cases. One thing that niggles at me, Tom's an intelligent man, how did he not see that Eve was involved? I mean, she said he was running hot and cold, but he had nothing on her. Unluckiest man ever when it comes to his love life. I'm excited to read the next in the series. To see how Tom copes with the fall out and if Phil manages to find a steady boyfriend.
