Laura Edwards's Reviews > The Nazi Officer's Wife: How One Jewish Woman Survived the Holocaust

As I read the first few chapters, I didn't think there was any way I'd give this book more than three stars, mainly because of the somewhat simplistic writing style. Granted, Edith Hahn Beer is not a writer by trade, so maybe some of my expectations were unrealistic. By the halfway mark, however, the conversational tone of the narrative had pulled me into the story. The reader is taken on a fascinating and harrowing journey with Edith as she struggles to survive in a world that would be only too glad to see her dead. An inspiring true life story.
