I certainly don't mind good fiction.
Hmmm...Let's see here, an Oprah selection in 1997. I'll try it anyway 
Amazon's reviews seem to be saying it's not an easy read and the main character is tough to identify with. However, what really grabs the reader is the description of Germany between the wars. Several reviews called it a masterpiece.
This book sounds intriguing . I'll definitely check it out. Thanks woy.
