Gretel Wachtel is unashamed of
telling her whole story to the world. The collaboration between Gretel (the subject of the story) and
Claudia Strachan (her biographer) in recreating the past brings it very much alive. This is an enjoyable book because her biography provides a vivid first hand experience of Hamburg, Germany during
World War II. Gretel shows how her naivety got her into
trouble both emotionally and physically, while at the same time the reader can
tell that she learned from her mistakes.
