Benoît Huron reviewed Address Unknown by Kathrine Taylor
Short and effective
3 stars
This epistolary tale describes how ordinary, even liberal-minded people could be swept by nationalistic and fascist fervor in Nazi Germany. The novel is really short and we don't really have time to know the characters enough to believe in them. Still, it is a classic, an early warning cry about the pernicious changes happening in Germany at the time, well worth the read. Oh, and the ending is perfect.
