This book is good for readers of older ages because it addresses many issues of the times and how, in life, when there are challenges that you must face, you must work hard to solve the problem. This book also teaches that stereotypes are never true and very offensive.
A few things only, if you like history and reading about hitler and stuff like that you will like this book.
My mom told me to Read it and I LOVE IT
It's amazing how three different people separated by distance and culture, all living through the same war, are brought together through music.
Full of suspense and has 3 stories that come together eventually. It is over 500 pages, but I flew through it since it was awesome.
