Description In Favor Of Books The Last Innocent Hour

Apparently Margot Abbott never wrote another book, and it seems very few people read this one. That's a shame, because it is a very well told story with important implications.

In Abbott's story, a young German boy is pulled into the Nazi orbit, the worst part of the Nazis, Heydrich's SS. He was childhood friends with an American girl, who returns to Berlin with her father in 1933, when he is appointed Ambassador. This of course is based on Martha Dodd, but not too closely, and it was published long before "In the Garden of Beasts."

One reviewer called the story naive and predictable; I don't agree. I thought it was a well-structured plot with interesting characters and a powerful emotional pull. Too bad she didn't write more.

*2019 Popsugar Reading Challenge*Prompt #38: A novel based on a true storyThis book was well-written and researched, but too dark and gritty for my current state of mind. The ending, as some other people have mentioned, is both terrible and appropriate - but either way, not the ending I had wanted.

Well, this was a fun book to begin reading and rather light and much detail to historical events and then it grew heavier and complicatedand I couldn't stop reading it. Then the last third of the book took a turn for more subterfuge and angst and well, Margot Abbott knows howto reel her readers in for sure - especially this particular era and the events of this time. Couldn't stop reading it wherever I took it - it was the main focus the story/subject so strong. Her characters are very real, I

Review to come. Beatrix as always has an excellent choice. You my dear are going to make wonders one day :)

This was by far the most painful story Ive read in 2018. I know that during World War 2 was always the most painful and torturous period in history but the way the story was written left me reeling. Reading this book was like sticking your head down into the Pensieve. You find that there are all sorts of nasties in there, the horrors committed against mankind, the brutal acts by soldiers carried out without a second thought. But you cant seem to pull yourself out.In the middle of it all was the

Margot Abbott in her remarkable novel, The Last Innocent Hour, has the courage to show us that the evil of the Nazis was fundamentally about sanctioning and enabling the criminally insane to run the country, abusing their power in their thirst for blood, sexual deviance, and ever greater power. A lesson to be learned today, when our leadership in Washington may or may not be criminally insane, but they are getting away with acts that in any other time and place, in a democracy, would not be

What Karla said, plus a few of my rambles... ... turgid, trashy little potboiler... It's all those elements, yes. But for a novel that wanders into the trashy a few times, the sense of time and place is so well conveyed that it's impressive. At no moment ever did I feel the history was just wallpaper decoration for the plot, nor did I feel any sense of anachronistic mentality, behaviour or events that take place. No characters that behave like postwar goodie-two-shoes who know all about the
