Why read it?
1 author picked People Like Us as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Although strictly this was set in the run-up to World War two, rather than the war itself, I thought this was a fascinating insight into how a young German girl, infatuated with Hitler and the Nazis, gradually learns to see things from a different point of view when she falls in love with a Jewish boy. It’s a novel for our time, showing how easily ‘ordinary people’ can be sucked into extreme views.
From Gill's list on World War Two featuring strong women.
