What makes Aimee and Jaguar an interesting story is that it examines a different perspective during the Holocaust than people are generally familiar with. Aimee is a young housewife with four children married to a Nazi official who finds herself falling in love with a Jewish woman living underground in Berlin. Unfortunately, the author's frequent and somewhat long-winded history lessons diminish the strength of this bittersweet love story. Nevertheless, Aimee and Jaguar is worth checking out it you are interested in learning about a lesser known set of Holocaust experiences and don't mind tragic endings.
