You'll want to read this in addition to The Water Castle...
Two great books about a young girl - to young woman's -
experiences in Vienna during and after WWII. In some ways, this sequel to the war book, The Water Castle, is
darker, sadder. The Water Castle feels more like a fable,
and is rather twinkly even at the century's most hideous moment. The Water Castle, from the grown girl''s per-
spective, delivers the weight of the destruction...the detritus of war, dreary and sad, and yet, at the same time, she
retains the ability to be romantic about life, to remember her questionably-involved parents with love, and to fall in love
herself. Highly recommended storytelling.

What a great book! Too bad it's out of print...
Ingeborg Lauterstein is a brilliant writer, and this is a
horrible/fabulous fairytale of a horrible/fabulous time in
history. It reminds me a little of "The Tin Drum," droll and
at the same time extremely touching; it is about how a
child survives trauma through imagination.
