Three-star review of Gerta by
Kateřina Tučková translated by Veronique
Firkosny
Could
not finish. This story about a half-German, half-Czech woman in Brno,
Czechoslovakia trying to survive during and after WWII was too harrowing for me
to continue reading. The lack of hope was the greatest hindrance to finishing
the story. I recognized the writing is excellent but even though I generally
enjoy books that touch me emotionally, I didn’t enjoy the emotions this brought
out.
