Address Unknown by Kathrine Kressmann TaylorMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is a small book with a huge impact. We all know what went on in Germany in World War II, but do we know what went on /before/ World War II? This book about two men who were business partners and friends in San Francisco tells the story within a series of letters written after one of the men, a German, moves home to Munich in 1932.
This was originally published as a short story in Story Magazine, a NYC publisher. The author was encouraged to drop her first name for a professional by-line. It is a short story in every way worthy of being a book - one that has sold hundreds of thousands of copies not only in the USA but also across Europe. It has been translated into many, many languages. It is worthy of reading.
