Book Review: The House with Lions by Tania Heimans

 


Note: The title of this book has been translated into English by me for the reading comprehension of this blog's viewers as the book itself isn't available in English (yet). The original title reads Het huis met de leeuwen.

Dutch history non-fiction is not something I usually tackle. However, since this one very much had to do with the Rotterdam Zoo and I do have a huge interest in animals, I did pick it up. It was honestly way darker than I expected, so content warnings for war, racism, antisemitism and animal death/suffering apply in this review and for the book itself.
