Why read it?
1 author picked Broken Stone as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Broken Stone delves into the complicated plight of ethnic Germans who lived in the Soviet Union before WWII and were persecuted by Stalin. This novel, based on the author’s family history, explores what happens when they escaped to Germany just in time for WWII. I love all of Gabriele Goldstone’s books because she delves into a part of WWII history that’s rarely told.
From Marsha's list on young people trapped between two enemies.
