The story opens in 1947 with the first appearance of the eponymous German Boy. Then it moves back 20 years, returning gradually to the 1940s by the end. Stefan (the German Boy) only features at either end of the book, but is, nonetheless, pivotal to the story. I'll read this again! Find similar books Profile.

A moving, inter-war family saga The German Boy from Patricia Wastvedt, the Orange Prize Longlisted author of The River. In 1947, Elisabeth Mander's German nephew comes to stay: Stefan Landau, her dead sister's teenage son, whom she hates and loves before she's even set eyes on him. Orphaned by the war and traumatised by the last, vicious battles of the Hitler Youth, Stefan brings with him to England only a few meagre possessions. Among them a portrait of a girl with long copper hair by a young painter called Michael Ross - and with it the memory, both painful and precious, of her life and that time between the wars. Spanning decades and generations, The German Boy tells the moving story of two families entangled by love and friendship, divided by prejudice and war, and of a brief encounter between a woman and a man that touched each of their lives forever. 'An absorbing literary saga ... a sophisticated and subtly woven story' Daily Mail 'Hypnotic, atmospheric and exquisitely written. A novel I won't forget' Lucinda Riley, author of Hothouse Flower 'A love story at its centre which will make your heart ache' Julia Green, author of Blue Moon 'A heart-rending story of epic proportions, thrilling and utterly captivating. I am haunted by it still' Suzannah Dunn, author of The Confession of Katherine Howard Born in 1954, Patricia Wastvedt grew up in Blackheath, south London, and spent her summers in Kent. She has a degree in Creative Arts and an MA in Creative Writing, and her first novel, The River, written in her late forties, was long-listed for the Orange Prize.

  • This book covers the experiences of a young boy from Eastern Germany during and after WWII. It should be made into a movie, and should be required reading for kids today. I read it twice and might read it again, it's that good. If you think your life is challenging, compare it to his.

  • I don't understand why this book was called "The German Boy". Stephan was the German boy, however, his character was such a small part of the story. There was such an abundance of characters it was difficult to keep track of them and to know just what their importance was. I felt there was too much of the going back and forth in time. In some stories it works very well, but in this one it just didn't seem to flow in a very cohesive manner. On a positive note, the author has a good sense of descriptive words. I would say the plot was all right, but then again, there really wasn't a plot. I would rate it three stars. I can't say I was impressed enough to recommend it to anyone.

  • The uncertainty of events made me anxious and kept me turning the pages. Great story. Well told with wonderful characters.

  • I really loved this book, and recommended it to others.

  • I really loved this book and couldn't put it down. The characters were all interesting, the plot wonderful, the writing excellent. I would recommend this book to everyone!

  • Having lived in Germany from 1946 - 2000, this bought back the Post War Germany that I knew as an American dependent boy.

  • I always enjoy books related to WWII and the story here was from an unusual angle. It was quite moving in parts and the twists in the storyline not always predictable. It was well written and a good read.

  • A story of two families entangled in love and friendship before and through the war years. The German Boy...Stefan, is the orphaned nephew who was bought out to England in his mid teens. Was traumatised by the war and the vicious life and battles with the Hitler Youth group.
