No Jardim dos Monstros

Larson's detailed recounting brings the era to life — I wonder what drew him to highlight the experiences of this American family in Berlin.

Their love and daily struggles contrasted sharply with the growing terror around them. How did others process this mix of normalcy and chaos?

His use of vivid detail and personal stories made me feel immersed in 1930s Berlin. I'm curious if this approach made the history more accessible or overwhelming.
