I liked the story idea, however, the character development was lacking for me.

I want to watch The Aftermath the movie, so of course, I started by reading the book. And, I must say that I quite enjoyed this story about a British family moving into a house with a German widower and his daughter after WW2. Both families have lost much during the war and now they have to live under the same roof. The ending felt a bit abrupt, but I quite enjoyed the writing and the story. Now I'm ready for the movie!

Finalizada la segunda guerra mundial, Hamburgo ha sido ocupada por los británicos. El coronel Lewis Morgan y su familia se instalan en una de las mansiones requisadas a los alemanes. La integridad y el deseo de confraternización del coronel hacen que llegue a un acuerdo con los ocupantes de la casa, la familia Luber, compuesta por un arquitecto viudo y su hija adolescente, para que ambas familias puedan convivir en armonía.

Greatly enjoyed it, which is unusual, for me, for a fictional work.
