It was interesting to read about the Gypsy culture and the holocaust. It explains a lot about they behaviour since then. The name changes of the characters can make it a bit difficult to follow the story.

"This unjustly forgotten 1980 novel is unlike anything else: Its portrait of a world after a nuclear holocaust — the explosion of the “1 Big 1″ — is written in language that’s brilliantly fractured, as if a bomb has exploded there as well."

I really liked this film, but I like nearly everything with Rachel Weisz. Weisz's character goes to the UK because a charge of libel was brought against her for calling out a historian for being a Holocaust denier, and the subsequent court case.

This book captured me from the beginning and held my emotions throughout. Written from the unique perspective of death, telling the story of a German girl and her experience throughout the holocaust, this book has a fast paced suspense and breaks your heart throughout

"Levi is best known for his unflinching Holocaust memoirs, but this is a sunnier work, the autobiography of a chemist, narrated in a humane and sometimes light-hearted voice. There’s a deep love for the physical world in these pages, and an infectious sense of wonder."
