It is sooooo much better than what I am summarizing. There are nuances all over in it, and little details that are fascinating.

I want the two of them to be happy too....and I think that they have a slow burn for each other that they keep hidden. Fidelis seems to have another side that he doesn't show to the outside world, and there are little instances of it show up. And you are right, she could not love a child of her own any more than she loves Markus. He seems to always be sick, and that is frightening. This book can be depressing, but if something happened to him, I would be devastated too.

I am also glad that Tante is gone...but seeing the boys go to Germany at this time is sad, since we all know what is happening in Germany with Hitler. I worry.
