'Packs a lingering punch . . . Dark Meadow, in its evocative descriptions of postwar life in a German village, in its lack of sentimentality, pathos or melodrama, is a bleakly real portrait of injustice' - Observer, Thriller of the Month 'A superior slice of German noir. Examines the German conscience, as if searching for the psyche behind the Nazi monstrosities . . . Schenkel can be considered as a deeply serious writer. Though her books are short, the impact they achieve undoubtedly merit this status' - Independent
