Publisher's Summary:
In 1947, Elisabeth Manders German nephew comes to stay: Stefan Landau, her dead sisters teenage son, whom she hates and loves before shes even set eyes on him. Orphaned by the war and traumatised by the last vicious battles of the Hitler Youth, Stefan brings with him to England only a few meagre possessions. Among them a portrait of a girl with long copper hair by a young painter called Michael Ross - and with it the memory, both painful and precious, of her life and that time between the wars.

Not the best book I've ever read......
I don't understand why this book was called "The German Boy". Stephan was the German boy, however, his character was such a small part of the story. There was such an abundance of characters it was difficult to keep track of them and to know just what their importance was. I felt there was too much of the going back and forth in time. In some stories it works very well, but in this one it just didn't seem to flow in a very cohesive manner. On a positive note, the author has a good sense of descriptive words. I would say the plot was all right, but then again, there really wasn't a plot. I would rate it three stars. I can't say I was impressed enough to recommend it to anyone.
one of the best books I have ever read
This book covers the experiences of a young boy from Eastern Germany during and after WWII. It should be made into a movie, and should be required reading for kids today. I read it twice and might read it again, it's that good. If you think your life is challenging, compare it to his.
Having lived in Germany from 1946 - 2000, this ...
Having lived in Germany from 1946 - 2000, this bought back the Post War Germany that I knew as an American dependent boy.
Great story. Well told with wonderful characters
The uncertainty of events made me anxious and kept me turning the pages. Great story. Well told with wonderful characters.
Five Stars
I really loved this book, and recommended it to others.
