Product Description

Review
'Resonating with poignant imagery, this outstanding novel examines the best and worst of human nature' The Times

Product Description
In pre-war Germany, two boys grow up together inseparable. However, as adulthood approaches and Nazism continues its inexorable march, Dahl and Quantz can no longer reconcile their childhood friendship as one becomes an SS officer and the other a pawn in the intelligence unit. Thirteen years later, their children meet: a woman and a man exposed to the sins of their fathers.

5.0 out of 5 stars a wonderful thought-provoking, absorbing novel, 7 May 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Element of Water (Hardcover)
This is an absorbing, fascinating, thought-provoking novel about human beings' capacities for cruelty and love. It shows the extremes of which people are capable, delineating some of the atrocities of Nazi Germany in unexpected, never cliched ways. But it never becomes unbearable to read. In fact, in the paradoxical way of great art, it remains entertaining however grim its material. Yet the material is not always grim. The novel is also a love story, and a touching one. Recommended as an excellent read that will alter your view of human nature and the world.
