I love reading books by journalists, at least the well-done ones. The research and attention to detail can be breathtaking.
This book is an account of Maitland's mother's life, from well-to-to childhood in Germany to terrifying pre-war years in France. It delves into amazing detail of Janenne's personality, her motivations and emotions, her memories and how reality conflicted with those.
The book tells you as much about Maitland as her mother, but in a side-glance way, as clues tune you into her motivations, her emotions as well.
The depth of characters and little plot side trips (just like real life!) in this book were endless.
