This says it all " tells the story of a Ukrainian family who sided with the Nazis against Bolshevik Jews in World War II. It was published under her then pen name Helen Demidenko and won the Vogel and Miles Franklin literary awards before she was exposed as a literary hoaxer." It is sad that someone should become wealthy from a hoax involving the Holocaust/Shoah. This Helen Demidenko , now known as Dale left Australia and studied law in the UK., using her ill gotten gains I am sure. Unbelievably, as a known liar, she got her first job as a lawyer there (after using a different name and went from stren to strength.). Which just goes to show that the practice of law is mostly being a good liar. If you buy this book you will help subsidise this lifestyle. Tim Fidler, WRE, NZ.
