After years of hiding and surviving near-death in a concentration camp, Ross is finally safe. Now living in New York City among old friends, far from Europe's chilling atrocities, Ross soon meets Natasha, a beautiful model and fellow migre, a warm heart to help him forget his cold memories. Yet even as the war draws to its violent close, Ross cannot find peace. Demons still pursue him. Whether they are ghosts from the past or the guilt of surviving, he does not know.

I love Remarque's books, even the ones that have somewhat predictable endings or story lines. His writing style and description/development of characters are my biggest attracions. He provides small, particular details about characters and their lives that make you feel that you know these people, that you live during their times, feel their feelings.... A lot of his stories are about WWI or WWII and times in between. In my opinion, they are much better, more informative and definitely much moreIf it is the first Remarques book one reads, i believe, he will enjoy it and will be pushed to further explore the author. As for me, it is not of his strongest ones. However, I was ones again touched by the characters and their stories, as well as by the emotional ending.
But I also knew that there was no going back. One can never go back; nothing and no one is ever the same. All that remained was an occasional evening of sadness, the sadness that we all feel because everything passes and because man is the only animal who knows it.
Great book with very sad end. How sad is to realize something when there is no return possible.
not my favourite of Remarque's novels...
Sadly, Remarque is just another guy saying "her mouth said no, but her soul/body/inner woman said yes".
Erich Maria Remarque is always like this. Such melancholy in the writing. Its always another level.
