Some on your list I have read, but will definitely check out the others. I recently finished City of Thieves by Daniel Benioff, very good though some R rated language/scenes. Skeletons at the Feast by Chris Bohjalian and Suite Francaise by Irene Nemirovsky were also hard to put down.Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12841514486769130103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2529969472454786525.post-63770649272729457122009-09-23T23:11:44.519-06:002009-09-23T23:11:44.519-06:00Great post!

I have read "Winds of War" and "War and Rememberance" at least a dozen times each and I have the cd's for the mini-series. I would be interested in the rest of your book list during this period in any part of the world. Thanks, also, to your readers for their recommendations. It would be fun to start a book club online. <br />mdehoop@hotmail.comMarthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11938989267402924562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2529969472454786525.post-32343419235465957702009-09-23T09:29:20.243-06:002009-09-23T09:29:20.243-06:00The Book Thief is an amazing WWII novel.
