内容説明
A provocative and darkly humorous novel in which Eve, at odds with love and life, becomes obsessed with the stories of women in Nazi Germany who were influenced or betrayed by the myth of the master race. The American author also wrote "Clea and Zeus Divorce" and "A Visit from the Footbinder".
From Publishers Weekly
On her 40th birthday, Eve, a WASP New York magazine columnist of German descent, has the ID number of an Auschwitz victim tattooed on her arm. This number is identical to that worn by an unidentified inmate in a 1944 death-camp photograph, whom Eve calls "Eva." Disturbed by her tattoo, her live-in lover, French-born filmmaker Charles, walks out; Eve then discovers that he was born Jewish and had converted to Catholicism, conflicted over his parents who were Nazi collaborators. While inventing variant life histories for Eva, Eve soon seems to split into a dual personality, holding conversations with Eva and probing such questions as why masses of German women ardently supported Hitler. Penthouse columnist and novelist Prager ( Clea and Zeus Divorce ) never satisfactorily explains Eve's obsession, which resembles a mental illness; her story, without metaphorical reverberation, is flawed.

Not a true classic
2004/10/14
形式:ペーパーバック
but a decent book nevertheless, Eve's Tattoo is more about it's heroines journey through middle-age crisis and less about the Holocaust. Yes, Eva indeed gets a tattoo of the number of the woman from her photograph which reminds her of herself, and yes, she does tell interesting 'tailored to suit stories' to everyone that asks her about it (which is not uninteresting) but on the whole the book mostly deals with Eva's life - her tattoo is a way to show herself that she has some meaning.
I got this book because it was on sale - and I was in army and had nothing better to do. I can say it didn't disappoint me. It's moderately interesting and somewhat even intriguing read - but don't expect it to be life-changing. I'd say borrow it from a library instead.

Chock full of trivia about the Nazi "high regard for the mother"
2007/10/18
形式:ペーパーバック
In today's news, 25% of Germans felt that Nazi rule was not all bad citing the Nazi "high regard for the mother." If not for this book which I agree was not fun to read, I would not have the "trivia" of what it meant to be a German woman in Nazi Germany permanently embedded in my brain. Thanks a lot, Emily Prager. The Nazis turned their aryan women into baby machines compromising the health of women and shortening their life spans all in the name of patriotism. Do you think it was only scary for Jews under Nazi rule? This book tells in a roundabout way how Nazis were/are also the enemy of women.

Dark and Haunting
2003/12/8
形式:ハードカバー
Prager's novel does suffer at times - there are two or three scenes that don't seem to quite make sense. The character relationships are not as well-developed as they could be. However, it was interesting for me because it explored the female side of the Holocaust: how could Christian women continue to be involved? Eve's motivation - keeping the memory of the victims of the Holocaust alive - is admirable as she forces friends and strangers to remember that no one was safe. The stories that Eve produces, allegedly concocted from her research, are intimate and tailored to her audience. The best scene in the novel to me was when Eve encounters a male Holocaust survivor. Prager's books are hard to find, so good luck at your local used bookstore or library.
