Recenzii

A wonderful rediscovery, like a perfectly preserved time capsule, but also a terrific novel by any standards - human, suspenseful, shot through with hard-earned wisdom
Captivating, moving, unputdownable. . . One of the best Berlin novels, sitting alongside Hans Fallada'sAlone in Berlin
An unbelievable rediscovery, much like Hans Fallada'sAlone in Berlin. . .Very few books recreate in such a way the nightmarish and intense hell that was the end of the Second World War
Magnificently vivid. . . Art has a habit of resurfacing, when it is worthwhile
An epic work of documentary fiction. . . Its driving narrative and emotional heft keep us rapt. . . compelling and moving
Heinz Rein lived through the final fighting when Hitler, from his bunker, decreed that any German officer ordering a retreat was to be killed on the spot by his own men.Berlin Finaleis of interest now chiefly as valuable testimony from one who was there. . . It has the kind of doom-laden splendour of one of John Martin's apocalyptic visions
Spellbinding . . . vividly conveys the devastation wrought on Berlin by Allied bombing raids and the terrible, almost sub-human existence endured by its surviving citizens
