It's hard to imagine there could be another WW2 novel to recommend, but here's one for sure. This one has a very compelling story, wonderful characters, and interesting historical background.
It's the story of Alina and her siblings and parents who live in a small town in Poland. When the Nazis invade the area, they continue to farm their land and survive as best they can. But as things escalate and people in the town are executed or disappear, things change.
There's another storyline too. Alice and her family live in present-day America. Alice is married with two children, one who is on the Autism spectrum. Her grandmother is failing and wants Alice to go to Poland to find out some information for her about her past.
I won't say more but I highly recommend this book. There are a few sections that I think could have used some more editing, but for the most part, it's well written and certainly kept my interest until the end. - June
