      Although I enjoyed this book and found the story interesting, I thought it all rather drawn out.The notebook contains the message 'The beautiful owner of this book is dearer to me than life – August your protector.’ August turns out to be a Prussian Prince, the nephew of Frederick the Great, and the 'beautiful owner' his wife, Eve's great grandmother Emile.The story unfolds in two strands: one telling of the romance between the prince and Emilie; the other of grandma Charlotte - their dispossesed child - who, being bought up by a Jewish family after the early death of August, tragically died on her way to Auschwitz mistakenly taken by the SS as an old Jewish woman.Eve Haas was bought up in England after fleeing from Germany with her mother and father at the beginning of WWII. One of the most interesting and atmospheric parts of the book were the descriptions of Eve's travels in East Germany at a time when the Cold War was at its height. She is there to search the records for her grandmother: her discoveries are simply amazing and life-changing.

      An excellent read, proving that truth is better than fiction.
