THE BROKEN HOUSE - HORST KRÜGER KARTONIERT (TB)

'Exquisitely written... haunting... Few books  I think  capture so well the sense of a life
broken for ever by trauma and guilt' Sunday Times 'An unsparing  honest and insightful memoir 
that shows how private failure becomes national disaster' Hilary Mantel Twenty years after the
end of the war  Horst Krüger attempted to make sense of his childhood. He had grown up in a
quiet Berlin suburb. Here  people lived ordinary lives  believed in God  obeyed the law  and
were gradually seduced by the promises of Nazism. He had been 'the typical child of innocuous
Germans who were never Nazis  and without whom the Nazis would never have been able to do their
work'. With tragic inevitability  this world of respectability  order and duty began to
crumble. Written in accomplished prose of lingering beauty  The Broken House is a moving
coming-of-age story that provides a searing portrait of life under the Nazis.
