![]() ![]() On the other side of the coin, the writer showed that WWII veterans and their families suffered from PTSD, just like some current veterans do. The not so subtle message that if Tatania would just stay home and bake bread and cater to him they would live happily ever after didn't resonate well with me at all. On a personal level, there were certain choices the writer made about Alexander's character during the 1950's that made me like him less. This book didn't have that extra element until Alexander went to save Anthony. In the first two books, there were three main characters - Tatania, Alexander and WWII. This book was nearly pure romance fiction until the last 20 percent. For me to enjoy a romance, it has to have an element of mystery, suspense or adventure. ![]() ![]() I enjoyed the first two books in this trilogy much more than this one. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Lahiri was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2002 and inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 2012.

At a certain distance yet still with access to many of the people who enabled and who opposed the führer and his Third Reich, Toland strove to treat this life as if Hitler lived and died a hundred years before instead of within his own memory of him From childhood and obscurity to his desperate end, Adolf Hitler emerges as, in Toland s words, "far more complex and contradictory.
