Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Historical fiction, especially WW II is my favorite. This was not. I do not understand the readers who say this book was an all time favorite or that they were unable to put it down. Eva was not likeable or relatable nor was her niece. I am 40% through the novel and not giving it any more of my time. This is what I have gathered so far.... Eva is an old woman, claiming to have dementia in order not to be held accountable for her actions. Her husband was killed during WW II, perhaps sacrificed by a self-serving , evil officer who Eva temporarily works for during the investigation phase of Germany post war, then finds again later in her life. She doesn't fully admit to him who she is but plots a web into which she can ensnare him and seek revenge for her poor dead husband. Forty years after his death, Eva is still writing letters to her dead husband, telling him how she will seek justice for his early demise. The woman spent her life dwelling on the past instead of living her life to its fullest. I am living my life and not finishing this book.
