Specialmente con Elfriede, la ragazza che si mostra più Amy Einhorn, vicepresidente di Flatiron Books, Usa ostile, la più carismatica. Poi, nella primavera del ’44, in caserma arriva il tenente Ziegler e instaura un clima di terrore. Mentre su tutti – come una sorta di divinità che non compare mai – incombe il Führer, fra Ziegler e Rosa si crea un legame inaudito. Rosella Postorino non teme di addentrarsi nell’ambiguità delle pulsioni e delle relazioni umane, per chiedersi che cosa significhi essere, e rimanere, umani. Ispirandosi alla storia vera di Margot Wölk (assaggiatrice di Hitler nella caserma di Krausendorf), racconta la vicenda eccezionale di una donna in trappola, fragile di fronte alla violenza della Storia, forte dei desideri della giovinezza. Come lei, i lettori si trovano in bilico sul crinale della collusione con il Male, della colpa accidentale, protratta per l’istinto – spesso antieroico – di sopravvivere. Di sentirsi, nonostante tutto, ancora vivi. Zara Raheem
