Title: The World That We Knew
Review: Hoffman’s 28th standalone novel is a wonderfully written story of three separate woman escaping from Nazi occupied Berlin to France in 1939. Full of terror, heroism and mysticism, the book details their amazing quest to survive during those times of unspeakable atrocities, with the aid of many true underground heroes, amazing fortitude and faith and shared courage…..along with the assistance of the mythical protective Golem. Riveting book, as well it should be. Not always pleasant, but hard to ignore.
