Neither laugh nor cry, for it was a story for reflection, and for thought with some very poignant moments which create lasting images. It made me think and reconsider and I appreciated the skill of the writer and of the narrator.ĭid you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? This was a book I admired, it engaged me totally, rather than being enjoyable.
A complex story of infatuation, love and survival~ again a tale to be told revealing the many different perspectives found in conflict war, hate and survival, and in my view, the book was better than the film.
What other book might you compare The Dark Room to, and why? It is beautifully read, with great empathy and skill and powerfully written. It is a grim tale, without much hope or compassion, but one which needs to be told again and again. It tells of love and innocence and the strong need for survival and the protection of those we love. It is a tale of pain, of separation and loss, and of fear. The Dark Room by Rachel Seiffert and a great selection of related books, art and collectibles available now at. What did you like most about The Dark Room?Ī tale of innocence in a dark period of history told from the perspective of children towards the defeat of Nazi Germany, one that is different to many we are familiar with.
