SuitabookConspiracy of Blood and Smoke
Anne Blankman
- Reading
- This continues the story begun in Prisoner of Night and Fog: the opening catches readers up, though the characters and relationships may mean more after the first book. Pause where needed around violence or political persecution.
- Themes
- Historical persecution and political power: The novel covers how the Nazi Party consolidated power and how Jews were made scapegoats amid social hardship. This historical strand may help readers consider how political movements use prejudice and blame.
- Worth knowing
- Violence includes repeated beatings, guns being brandished or fired, and torture-related injuries described in detail. Cocaine use, smoking and drinking are also mentioned; romantic scenes include kisses and brief physical sensations.
