Reviews

An extraordinary tale - one of the best debut novels of 2010 * The Times *
Told with a child-like innocence, it is a poignant insight into the dying days of the Third Reich and the claustrophobic existence of those who stayed behind with 'Uncle Leader' * Daily Mail *
Skilfully avoiding both sentimentality and sensationalism, Craigie has written an affecting and unusual exploration of the last days of Hitler * TLS *
Her poised style is powerful and stripped of sentimentality, and she skilfully enters the psyche of a young girl. * The Independent *
