Most Recently Read Book:
Those Who Save Us
By Jenna Blum
Wow, this was a great book. We chose this book for book club this month but it wasn't the book that I voted for. Quite frankly, I have read a lot of WWII historical fiction lately and I was kind of not in the mood for another one, but this book was well written and the characters were very interesting so I easily got into this book. There are two main characters, Anna and Trudy. Anna is the mother who is a German in Nazi Germany who does what she has to in order to protect herself and her daughter. Trudy, is her daughter, who only remembers a few things from her first few years when she was growing up in Germany. Anna has never talked to her daughter about what it was like during the war and it creates a huge distance between them. In the book we get to see both of their perspectives. It is well written, heart-wrenching, and unbelievable like only WWII books can be. I am eager to talk about this book at book club!
