Better than the first
I read the first book in this series and absolutely loved it. This one, I think I
liked it better than the first (An Unexpected Afterlife). There is something wonderfully surreal when dead Jews start appearing in the cemetery, wandering around naked. It started as a phenomenon but developed into something wonderful and yet sad. It is taken to a deep, heavy heart when a someone is being searched for her, but her remains were never recovered. "“The Germans? If you had told me the French I would have believed you, but the Germans? How many Jews died?” the question leaves a lump in your throat, but the answer makes you sick to your stomach. It's a story that you should read from beginning to end, and hope there will be another one to follow. The reader of the first book will be familiar with many of the characters that are in this one, each having his or her own story and depth of personality. Filled with culture and heartwarming heartbreak. Love this story, recommend reading both, back to back if you can.
