This seemed like an odd book at first. A girl wandering through a war, accompanied by a talking goose, and remembering her life with her intellectual mother. As is usual with O'Neill, the book becomes more complete and moving the closer you get to the end. The goose was a figment of the girl's imagination, to help her cope with having turned her mother in to save herself. The ending is beautiful.
The war theme was moving to me because my parents and relatives lived through a war.
