Positive review

Today I will present one of the reviews I found on the internet. As I promised in the previous post, this time it will be a positive picture of the book. What's more, this opinion presents a more detailed description of the action, but at the same time does not reveal its ending.  Of course, the review was translated by me from the Polish language.

“ I must say with all conviction - congratulations for our young compatriot for creating such an interesting family saga. This is a moral novel with a background story, beginning in 1934 and ending in modern times. We recognize Maria and Werner, who share everything, nationality, class affiliation, wealth, origin, but combines something that can’t be bought or inherited – love. She was unselfish, boundless, full of passion, unconditional devotion and tenderness. This feeling required sacrifices, breaking rules, lies, difficult choices and hesitations between love and hatred. It wasn’t easy considering historical events and family connections. The family of von Beck is aristocracy, the type of family whose interior was filled with hypocrisy and lies, and impeccably perfect outside. All deviations from morality were concealed and quickly cut off.
War has always made life complicated. What was simple and obvious in a peaceful world, during the war became impossible. It would seem that the end of the war will close the chapter in history, but the memories of that period touched later life, destroying their dream life. After the German occupation, the Soviets started not much different from the first: fanaticism, lust for power, hypocrisy, cruelty, fear, accusation and destruction of innocent people. 

Very expressive, complex and diverse psychological portraits of heroes, location of action in many cities in Europe, dramaturgy of events, dilemmas and choices of heroes make the book even more interesting. The life of all heroes has changed dramatically. How important in life is the family, which we can underestimate on a daily basis, until the moment, event and tragedy come to us and realize its value. The family that should always be a support can save or ruin life. The great injustice is the responsibility of future generations for sins and the fault of the ancestors. Some chapters ended with a sentence about the future of the characters, to get to know her, you had to delve into the next chapter, which I did with pleasure." 

I’d like to add that I agree with the presented opinion and for sure this book will stay in my head for a long time, but also in my heart.

I sincerely apologize for any mistakes in the translation, but I hope that my level of English is enough to understand the meaning of the content that I’m presenting.
