1938


Lately, I've been reading a number of books that are either set before, during, or remembering the Holocaust. Although these works are stories about the lost lives of this period, they are also stories about restoring hope. 

Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay
An American journalist living in Paris begins researching a devastating event that most people, including her husband's French family, have wanted to forget. 

The Mysterious Edge of the Heroic World by E.L. Konigsburg
A young boy uncovers the mystery of a stolen sketch. 

The Lost Wife by Alyson Richman
At his grandson's wedding, a man discovers the woman he thought he had lost long ago in Prague.

The House at Tyneford by Natasha Solomons
