omg.

I mean, oh my god. that was the perfect ending. wow. you are so super smart and this story has been an absolute JOY to read. wow, I'm such a romantic. I thought you dealt with the heavy issues really well, and this was a story of years, and so it was... really touching. I wasn't expecting to feel so much, but I did.

thank you SO much for writing this.

the beginning was so sweet and funny and real, exactly the type of thing you could see someone remembering about a school. the ghost that was actually a sleepwalking student, the memorable teachers, the boys. that feeling of nostalgia. and then the war and everything, you handled well too. you never dehumanized your german characters, but you kept the often unspoken political tension tight. just awesome.

and I'm a sucker for a happy ending.

it's unhealthy how into this story I am! i let out a sigh of relief when I knew her secret (about her son's paternity) was safe. whew.

wow, amazing imagery with the jewish baby born by a german... this story is so awesome. not because of that but it just is.

wow, peter. I love these characters and how you even write the german officers and such. very intriguing. I admit, I miss the school days though... a lot :(

it must be such a frightening situation to be in... I'm all tensed up!

I have to apologize... my reviews so far have been very teen-girlish "OMG"s and such... Actually, I'm not sure if I reviewed saying "OMG" just yet, but trust me, I've been wanting to...

Especially with the romance... lord, it was perfection :) you skim over the details and take us through the years in a memoirish style, and sometimes I almost want to pause and stay in the moment, but I like it.

and now... nazis. omg.

haha, sorry. your story is too smart for my silly reviews.

oh dear, that IS a good prank, to label the pigs that way! made me laugh :)

poor peter! but i don't think he's for her anyways ;)

absolutely lovely, charming story so far, by the way. I adore it.

what a wonderful description of the photograph! i love it.

ooh, i like the bit about there being a "ghost", even if it is just a prankster :) peter is interesting, but i hope he's not a romantic interest, because he's not... that interesting. maybe i'm just judging him too harshly!

Ah, i like this headmaster fellow. how very awkward. and our heroine seems a bit straight laced, the way she got all incensed over the chair.

wow, I really like the beginning! the characters and atmosphere seem... like they will be fun to read more about. and your descriptions are fantastic as well. did you have to do quite a lot of research?

Thank you for a wondeful story! I have really enjoyed reading it! I hope to read more stories from you =D

Amazing! Thanks so much for updating often. I love the fact that you always complete your stories.

wasn't expecting that.
