To Hell and Back: Europe, by Ian Kershaw – review | Books | The Guardian

The climax of the book is the highpoint of the book and my advice to readers is to not waste time in guessing as the author will prove you wrong at every turn. Sep 14, Mugdha Mahajan rated it really liked it. When I was offered this book for review, I had a lot of expectations from it, because the blurb and the cover seemed interesting. But while reading the book I got bored in the first few pages, but when I started reading further, it became difficult for me to put down the book. The story is quite interesting and thrilling as the author unravels many conspiracies towards the end.

Hell and Back

Each time they are stretched beyond their acceptable boundaries, the boundaries redefine themselves to accommodate the breach. How do they come across each other? Namrata, a career oriented woman was ready to go for a client meeting with her boss, Akash at 5AM. While going to Delhi through the highway some goons killed Akash and left Namrata injured on the road. She was traumatized with the road accident and was aloof from the world.

The author then takes the reader eight months back. We see a different side of Namrata - she was married to Pranav but their relationship was going through a tough phase.

To Hell and Back: Europe, 1914-1949 by Ian Kershaw – review

There was no romance left and they barely talked and met each other because of their clashing work timings. While Pranav was on one of his office tours, Namrata went out with her girl gang to party, but that night changed everything for her. After the bad incident at the party, she was all stressed up and fell ill. She was going to attempt suicide when a message from Akash came to her rescue. Namrata started finding solace in Akash's company and they both started dating each other. Namrata left her husband in order to spend her life with Akash but she always found something fishy about Akash's actions.

But ignored it because she loved him. What is Akash hiding? Is there something actually fishy about it or it's just that she is overthinking? On the other hand, Renu was a housewife, tortured by her in laws and living in an outdated village.

Her relationship with her husband was deteriorating and she was treated as an item by him. Her husband used to force himself upon her. Renu's world changed when she announced to her husband that she was pregnant. All of her family members were expecting a boy this time but an illegal sex determination test shook her as it was another girl and maybe the end to her life by her husband.

What will happen when her husband will get to know about it? Will she be able to lead a happy life or be dreaded for life?

Read the book to get answers for all the questions! I absolutely loved how the author inserted the twists and turns in the story. The book is an absolute thriller and the revelations will shock you. Though the starting was a bit boring but the end was so so good that it changed my whole perception. The plot is strong and the author has been able to do full justice to it.

The narration is smooth and the book is well paced. With every turning page the curiosity to read further keeps on increasing. The language used by the author is easy and understandable. May 08, Mahesh Sowani rated it really liked it.

The book opens with Namrata and Akash taking the road. A white SUV blocks their road. Its occupants kill Akash, leaving Namrata untouched. Akash was a cofounder of a start up and his death caused by a road rage makes newspaper headlines. Was it really a tragedy or something sinister. After all not all tragedies are orchestrated by fate. Anurag crafts two women characters whose lives are poles apart.

Namrata is a young, independent woman who can even walk out of a marriage when she finds it is not working. Renu on the other hand is a demure housewife living in a village with outdated code of conduct for women. Girl child needless to say is unwelcome there. After all we know how it all ends; the smouldering ashes of are visible from the start. Historians have dealt with that conundrum differently — some recovering ordinary lives, others piling on descriptions of atrocities to spur moral outrage.

Kershaw follows none of these paths. Although he weaves in the occasional perceptive observer George Orwell, Victor Klemperer, Vera Brittain , this is not a people-centred account. Nor does he dwell on the various horrors to which occupied or targeted populations were subjected, instead using a set of rather loaded adjectives barbarous, savage, brutal, unspeakable to register them before moving on. And while he does devote a few chapters to population trends, social changes and religious or cultural movements, the mundane problems that preoccupy ordinary citizens much of the time — work, school, marriage, childrearing, boredom — receive scarcely a nod.

Since his aim is explanation and not simply narration, the text is dotted with pointed, occasionally counterfactual questions. Why, then, did they not do so? The answers are discouraging. What happened is shown to have been, if not exactly ordained, the most likely outcome; hopes of turning the juggernaut aside seem to have been doubtful at best.
