Nora Eisenberg schreibt über die Nachwirkungen des Zweiten Weltkriegs mit bemerkenswerter Einsicht und sensationell kunstfertig. Sie kommt den Figuren ihrer Geschichte mit eindrucksvoller Unmittelbarkeit nahe, indem sie Fiktion und Autobiografie geschickt ineinander verschränkt. So entsteht ein erschreckender und zugleich unwiderstehlicher Roman.
