My latest read is apt at this time with it being remembrance weekend.
The book is called
The Draughtsman by Robert Lautner
I won't spoil the book if you fancy reading it but it is generally about a young German living in Germany in the last year of World War 11.
He has just graduated from University as a Draughtsman and is without a job when he is offered one with a firm called 'Toft and Sons ' who made high tec crematorium systems (ovens).
He is unaware of this when he takes the job and thinks that they make silo's, he then has a big concience problem once he starts the job.
It is a bit harrowing in parts as although the book is fiction it is based on fact and a lot of the book can be verified by looking up on google.
Sounds interesting Briony, might look out for that one.
ReplyDeleteI have not heard of this book. I hope he quit!
