Her judgment on the occupation is spot on, and she homes in on all sorts of contradictions: Yet again and again she falls back on provocative slogans where nuance is needed. For instance, there has been much scholarly debate on the question of collusion between Nazis and Zionists; this is not a subject for asides, but that's all it gets here.
On the other hand, towards the end, the book becomes unbalanced by dry detail, and for stretches Edith seems almost forgotten in Figes's obsession with what Ernest Bevin thought or Richard Crossman wrote.

Figes's recurring dreams of leaving Berlin and her acquisition of a new language are poignantly remembered. Her mother emerges as a thoroughly unsympathetic and snobbish woman, who, according to Eva's uncle, behaved during the war as though Hitler had been invented specifically to make her life unpleasant. She would hit Eva and explode into rages on the slightest pretext.
In she even dispatched the year-old to the Hendon Odeon to watch the newsreel of the liberation of the camps on her own. After reading the trilogy, after wishing there was more to read about Mem I thought, "wow I can't believe people lived like that years ago.. I read this book over and over in 4TH grade and it was by far one of my favorites.
A few years ago, the book cover popped into my head for some reason - I remembered the details very clearly, but not the title! It feels so great to have found this gem after reading it over a decade ago. I definitely recommend this book if you're looking to teach your children about pioneer life, or they just want to read a really great book that will stick with them forever.

Although it doesn't give a feel of what the trail was like, it showed unsafe traveling was, and what life was like once settling on fresh land, without a house. Auch showed how dangerous living in the open terrain was and how blind some people were to those dangers. I certainly recommend this book to readers who are interested in this era and I look forward to reading the rest of the series.

Journey to Nowhere
Reminds me of Thought-Knot Seer: Exiles something forever on ETB, opponent gets something else back when it leaves. So this says "leaves the battlefield" but Induced Amnesia says "sent to the graveyard"? Nothing else matters, because nothing else exists. Electrostatic Pummeler , maybe? So, the card is called Baffling End, the translation correct. Last edited by JPBlue: If you want to pretend the only targets in modern are gofy, then yes, this card is better There are some things with a higher CMC than 3 in modern unfortunately.
The fact that it's sorcery means you can't kill virtuoso with it's energy trigger on the stack, for example, so your opponent will have the option of an extra thopter similarly Mavren Fein has likely made a few tokens before going down. I think the card is powerful enough for standard in a vacuum, just not sold on it in the current metagame.
