The Emperor of Lies

Its a semi-fictional novel by Steve Sem-Sandberg about the life of Jews of the Polish ghetto of Lodz in 1940. It gives a vivid picture of the harsh life forced upon on the Jewish population in the ghetto by the Nazis. This is the first book on this topic I read. I liked the book....its style and the mixture of fact and fiction. Its a written with wonderful subtleties. It makes the next book I am reading a bit bland.



Rating: 7.8/10
