A wide range of people were depicted in this slim book. I was fascinated to learn of their pre-war occupations. There was one university professor, a gardener who remarked favorably on the quality of the soil at Stalingrad, and a pianist who warned his wife that he would probably never play again, since several of his fingers had been amputated due to frostbite.
There was also a range of attitudes and concerns in this collection. One of the poignant letters, imho, was one where this guy had apparently had a long-standing extramarital affair which his wife was aware of. He wrote that he loved his wife and his mistress both, but he wanted his wife to know he loved her more, and offered as proof the fact that, for what he knew would be his final letter home, he had written only to HER. Nevertheless, he asked his wife to pass on a message of love and farewell to his mistress. I wonder if she did.
I'd love to own a copy of this book. Once the Amazon.com price drops below $90 perhaps I'll buy one.
