“By then, the issue of food had acquired the importance it had in every camp. We were always hungry. At every meal there were squabbles about second helpings and bigger portions. Lena was fair and did her best; she didn't believe in special favors, nor in sharp elbows. But the rutabaga soup not only tasted awful, it left you hungry an hour later.”
Fink’s tense and powerful novel, set in war-time Germany, offers insight into the nightmarish world of the Jews during that period.
