The Sixth Lamentation - William Broderick
With the Mumsnet
Book Club already thriving, we thought it about time we started reviewing grown up books and for this category we want to know what you think is the best book ever written (plenty of scope there then). At some point when we've reached a critical mass we'll be handing out a dazzling literary award to the winning book (watch out Mr Booker) so please add as many reviews as you like and feel free to comment on other folks' choices. As ever, if you have any suggestions for new categories you'd like to see, please send them over to contactus@mumsnet.com.

An elderly man is put on trial for war crimes. A concentration camp survivor diagnosed with a terminal illness writes down her life story, which she has spent years trying to blank out, for her grand-daughter. In a tangle of love and betrayal, around a group of people smuggling Jewish children out of Nazi occupied Paris, identities are shed and assumed. Fifty years later, descendants of those involved have to come to terms with how the past comes back to change their lives. A throught-provoking tear jerker.
