Every Man Dies Alone by Hans Fallada

A friend emailed me about this novel, written just after WWII. It is now translated into English and has made a huge come-back. I will start it tonight. It is based on a true story about a working class couple in Berlin who decided to take a stand against the Nazis. It is a deeply moving story of two people who stand up for what's right, and for each other. I know I will love this book. I ordered it from Mrs. Dalloway's, and not Amazon. What is more exciting than bringing a book home that you know you will really want to settle down with and read until it is very late and you ought to be in bed!
