The Puzzle Women

This is a remarkably interesting and intriguing book. It is about domestic violence, abuse and pain but it is also about love, family, hope and resilience.

It is the story of a mother who loved her children. It is about children who loved their mother and share a close bond and love each other. It is about taking your fate into your own hands, about being brave, about taking chances. It is about helping others. It is also about fear, self-medicating, and fear.

Then it is also about women helping others. About piecing the pieces back together. It is a search for the truth, it is about Berlin’s history. The Puzzle women who worked tirelessly to reconstruct shredded files of the former secret police.

Heartbreaking at times, this book tells the story of siblings Rune and Lottie, their Mama and Papa. This was a beautifully written and captivating read. It will not be easy for some to read, but it is worthwhile. There are parts that will put a smile on your face. This was my first book by this Author, and I look forward to reading more of her work in the future.
