He unwittingly uncovers a family secret and is obsessed with finding the full story, no matter the consequences. Micha finds that as he grows older he wants to learn more about his family history. Lore is a young girl who must gather her siblings and go illegally search of her grandmother while hiding from soldiers that surround her (reminiscent of Dicey in Homecoming by Cynthia Voight for those readers who feel a special affinity for this story, I recommend you that one also). Helmut is born without his right pectoral muscle which leaves him slightly handicapped and never quite believing that he measures up or fits in. These stories recreate the drama and intricacy of the German existence with their ephemeral, dark beauty, making The Dark Room a perfect read for a cold winter day. The Dark Room, the first novel by Rachel Sieffert, tells the story of three ordinary Germans living in twentieth-century Germany - before, during, and after World War II.
