The German returns to his homeland where he has bought a huge new family home with his newfound wealth. The tale unfolds in the form of a series of letters between the two.

When the German returns home in 1933 things happen, relationships alter, and history overlays and rewrites friendships in unthinkable ways.When I questioned my mother about this time period - she was born in 1923 - she said they didn't
Read for March Reading Sprint-2019 in Buddy Reads.Believe me, you do not want to miss this book. Its just 40 pages long and just read it.This modern story is perfection itself. It is the most effective indictment of Nazism to appear in fiction.──The New York Times Book ReviewThis is written in the form of letters (which are easy to get into) between a Jew (Max) living in America and his best friend and partner (Martin) who has returned to Germany. You see how Nazi poison got hold of Martin and
