Jesus, when are people going to put "WARNING: HOLOCAUST!" bands on YA literature? I know it's v important that We Must Never Forget, but I am in no danger of forgetting, thank you. Review in brief: granny turns out to be a Nazi. To Oxfam it goes! ( ) This novel packs many important topics into an engaging and easy-to-read narrative. Hilly and Zoe are sisters who don't always get on and having to share a room when their gran Heidi moves in doesn't make it any easier. Heidi has Alzheimer's and cannot cope on her own any more. With the disease, the memories of her childhood that she buried very deep are resurfacing and result in a few surprises for the rest of the family. There's an interesting racism subplot to all this. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
