Elfi's World,
By Jan (Berlin, Ct. USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Elfi's World (Paperback)
In "Elfi's World", Edelgard Knoob transports us to the wondrous time and place of her childhood in Germany. We see through little Elfi's eyes the beauty of an era when times were still simple. Her family comes alive throughout the book as we learn their individual characters. Grandmother and Grandfather played a very important role in Elfi's upbringing and their love and warmth is genuinely felt through the writer. And Aunt Gusti quickly became a favorite of mine. Her cheerfullness and dedication to the family was endearing. I was very sorry to read of her misfortune at the arms of the Third Reich. Elfie's mischiefness keeps us smiling throughout the story but through her loving upbringing, her faith and optimism lets her shine through all obstacles. The memories that are brought to life in this revealing autobiography will immortalize Elfi and her family forever. I would recommend this book as great reading for young and old.

Fascinating,
By Zig (Pennsylvania, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Elfi's World (Paperback)
What was it like to be an ordinary child living in Germany in the beginnings of WWII? It's something that we, today, can not fathom.
