One of the wonderful lady’s at the library use to teach (3rd grade, but this isn’t a kids book) and cannot remember a book she read years ago about the war from the german citizen perspective. She thinks it was written by a woman who was a midget and stones or slipping/slippery were in the title. Any help would be appreciated. ---

I’m slightly amazed. Even by SDMB standards, that was _fast_!! So. **Shirley**. How long have you been studying the literature of Midget Nazis? 😉 😃 ---

I knew it, too–I remember Oprah’s description of it when she announced it was the next Book Club book. ---
