Reviews

The Times
An extraordinary tale - one of the best debut novels of 2010
Daily Mail
Told with a child-like innocence, it is a poignant insight into the dying days of the Third Reich and the claustrophobic existence of those who stayed behind with 'Uncle Leader'
TLS
Skilfully avoiding both sentimentality and sensationalism, Craigie has written an affecting and unusual exploration of the last days of Hitler
The Independent
Her poised style is powerful and stripped of sentimentality, and she skilfully enters the psyche of a young girl.
