Spanning decades starting in the 1920s, the brothers , with their comrades and sweethearts Dagmar and Silke ( love the name Silke ) form a gang , The Saturday Club , and its the promise made in this club that forms the structure to the book. They shared everything, swapping stories of lovers and friends, successes and disappointments, dreams and ambitions. Freida and Wolfgang Stengel are a young couple looking forward to the imminent birth of their twin boys who are born on the same day as the birth of Hitler’s Nazi party but when one of the twins is stillborn they are asked to secretly adopt a non-Jewish baby whose mother died in childbirth. It is ironic how the story plays with the idea that the Nazi Party grew up pretty much at the same time than Otto and Paulus.

The brothers themselves were fairly well written but again their CONSTANT obsession with Dagmar made them rather dull, instead of them being shaped by growing up and being passionately moved by the tragic events around them every second thought and every action they commit revolves around this single girl which really made them quite boring.

Characters: Not only was one of the main and most often mentioned characters, Dagmar, extremely dislike-able from the get go (self-ish/self-absorbed/manipulative/vain/mean-spirited) but the others characters complete, constant, and utter adoration for her would grate on my nerves even if she was likable to begin with.

When Kal’s powerful, scheming uncle tears Jes’s family apart, she’ll have to test her new friend’s loyalty and risk the vengeance of a royal clan to save her mother and sisters from certain death. Two sisters: Miranda, the older, responsible one, always her younger sister’s protector; Lucia, the vibrant, headstrong, unconventional one, whose impulses are huge and, often, life changing.

Wolfgang lost his essence — I was deeply annoyed by the whole Katharine sub-plot, which I found completely ridiculous — and Silke, who was perhaps the most interesting character in the novel, was almost completely ignored as the plot marched on. Surely at a time like that, where innocent people were being slaughtered on the streets, the appearance of characters wouldn't need be mentioned in every chapter.
