The Dutch Wife--#82 finished

 I am not really sure why I picked this one to read.  I wasn't looking for a holocaust book and a sort of overall depressing book.  A Dutch couple are arrested in WWII and sent to concentration camps.  The wife is selected but sort of joined up for brothel duty and while there one of the Nazi commanders falls for her. The book writes from her perspective, then his and then to a younger 20 something man caught up in Argentina's Dirty War.  Interesting to see the different concerns and also how they are connected.  I liked the book a different perspective on the war and the people.

I have posted it on PBS, I think there were already 4 or 5 copies in system so probably not going anywhere anytime soon.
