After two years at the Russian front, Ernst Graeber finally receives three weeks' leave. But since leaves have been canceled before, he decides not to write his parents, fearing he would just raise their hopes. Then, when Graeber arrives home, he finds his house bombed to ruin and his parents nowhere in sight. Nobody knows if they are dead or alive. As his leave draws to a close, Graeber reaches out to Elisabeth, a childhood friend.

Like many people, I find myself fascinated with war stories. Guy Sajer and Eugene Sledge have remained icons for their books; The Forgotten Soldier and With the Old Breed, but I must admit… hearing the stories of the losing side gives a morbid fascination with who/what they were fighting for, not the mindless thugs of the SS or the hell-bent followers of the Nazi Regime. There were regular people in the Wehrmacht, a concept I had a hard time understanding when I first got into history, but books like this really put it into reality. The pain described here is unreal and unreliable, it leaves the reader (or listener) a kind of fear that is very human. I couldn’t stop listening, and I’m glad I dedicated myself to buy this audible, especially by such a great narrator too.
I…hate the ending though. It was beautifully written, but nonetheless.

You canonly listen to this once.

I used a credit to listen to this because a friend had recommended this to me, and I’ll admit now and say that I had 0 expectations for it.
However, this has become one of my favorite books! It helped that the reader had a lot of character as he spoke and was very passionate throughout the audible. It made the experience truly one of a kind. It’s one of those books you can only read once to fully appreciate the delivery and uniqueness of it.
