Whatever Happened to Rosemarie? | Vera Christa Doederlein Hastie

Pickpick

This is a fictional account of the heart-breaking true story of the disappearance of 14-year-old Rosemarie Doederlein in Montréal, Canada in 1954. Although her family never stopped looking, it took almost 70 years for them to get answers. Written by Rosemarie's younger sister, this book grabs hold of your emotions & doesn't let go. The family's pain in losing their daughter & sister comes off the pages as does the love they had for each other.

OutsmartYourShelf My one (minor) quibble is that it looked as if it was going to be mainly about Rosemarie's disappearance, whereas in fact, that was quite a small part of the book. A great many of the chapters dealt with the family's experiences as a German family in & just after the Second World War. It was very interesting to read but not quite what I expecting from the synopsis. 4🌟
