Title : The Queen of the Night - Marc Behm - book Summary : The Queen of the Night recounts, in a picaresque manner, the deadly trek of a young German woman who unwillingly becomes a Nazi, who finds herself, through adventures and tribulations, a member of the SA and then the SS, before ending up hanged for crimes against humanity. The author's particularly dark humor is completely devastating, especially in the chapters where all the leading figures of the Reich appear. Other passages are revealed to be on the edge of bearable. In any case, a fabulous novel.
