House on Endless Waters by Emuna Elon is based on the history on Jewish children and families in Amsterdam during World War II. To honor the history, I wanted to love the book. Unfortunately, for me, the way in which the story is told got in the way of the story itself. The book felt like it tried too hard and felt like a literary exercise more so than a story.
