The Blind Side of the Heart

by Julia Franck

It starts off with the idea of a woman abandoning her son at a railway station and that is the first chapter. Then what the book does is to give you the story behind all that, which is her career as a nurse and the collapse of Germany in 1945 as the Allies move in from both sides.
