Dark

I love time travel dramas.  I gave The Time Traveler’s Wife four stars on Goodreads.  I saw the movie Somewhere in Time about twenty times when I was in high school.  I like stories about alternate realities.  4 3 2 1 by Paul Auster is one of the best books I have read.  It’s no surprise that I love the Netflix series Dark. 

This three-season drama takes place in the German town of Winden in 2019.  It does not take long before we start our journey through time with our hero Jonas and drop into the past and future lives of the characters.  It is a mysterious, confusing, exhilarating and bittersweet trip for the viewer and completely worth your time and effort.

The German House

This book will stay with me for awhile. Eva is a young translator working for the prosecution in a trial of Nazi war criminals. She must come to terms with her country’s wicked past and learn about her parents’ lives during the war. And negotiate a difficult love affair.

The Chestnut Man

From the writer/creator of the original series from Denmark The Killing. This Copenhagen mystery has the usual flawed detectives, red herrings, tropes and utter darkness of the human spirit. Totally enjoyable.
