This review is from: Skies over Kazakstan (Hardcover)

This is the first novel I read in German. It was wonderful. It had to be, to keep me reading it in a foreign language. Skies over Kazakstan follows the lives of a group of German people who were originally living in Russia. They were "called back" to Germany by Hitler, and sent there whether they really wanted to go there or not. The main character, Svetlana, goes with her family to Germany and eventually finds herself 12 years old and alone again in Russia. The book follows the twists and turns in her life, caused sometimes by her decisions, but more often by things outside of her control. I found the book full of suspense, so I will not tell you any more about what happens. It seemed that in every page, there was uncertainty looming. Svetlana's life was full of trials, but I admire her attitude and perserverance greatly.
