But, after reading the whole review, I feel like I've known the characters for a long tine and now, I'm invested in Ingrid's story and want to know what will happen to her. So, thanks a lot for your lovely review. I enjoyed reading it very much.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I hope you enjoy it.

The novel "Burying Leo" by Helga Gruendler-Schierloh seems to focus on life of Ingrid who had several ups and down in her life, shifting from Germany to America and back to Germany. Well described settings makes visualization easy.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

Ingrid seems like an interesting character able to move between continents and different situations. Your comments referencing the descriptions of Augsburg sound amazing. Character development and vivid descriptions seem to be the strong points of this story. Thanks for the recommendation.

I'm not sure I'll get around to reading this one: it sounds a wee bit too slow and perhaps more downbeat than I would enjoy. Augsburg is a place I'd like to visit though. Thanks for a very informative review!

Sounds like a good read! A slow pace novel is so enjoyable when it is well done, which it sounds like this is. Thanks for the nice review.

Great review! I love how you've explained why you loved the book. The characters seem so deeply human in their flaws as well as their despair.
