These both sound like something I would really like to read. I am going to put them on my list. I am reading Marge Piercey’s “Gone to Soldiers” right now and loving it. It’s also a WW2 novel.Both of these books were amazing due to the fact that they were both based on the experiences of real people!
#16/90: The Lilac Girls by Martha Hall Kelly (5/5) (historical fiction/Holocaust)
Told from the viewpoint of three women - from New York, Poland, and Germany - from the beginnings of WWII to the late 1950s.
#17/90: We Were the Lucky Ones by Georgia Hunter (5/5) (historical fiction/Holocaust)
Told from the viewpoints of various members of a Jewish family from Poland.

i began Lilac Girls. May not be right for me.
Thank you for mentioning this.That could be. I just got done with a book which got excellent reviews, yet I couldn't wait for it to be over. Frankly, I only kept with it because I DNF the book before that, and I couldn't allow myself to give up and not finish 2 books in a row. The one before that also had gotten great reviews and I didn't finish it.
How did you like it? It was one of my favorites from last year's challenge.#9/40: Bird Box by Josh Malerman
All done just let us know what # you're on or what books you have already read this year.Thank you for mentioning this.
That was a really good idea to keep everyone straight! Glad you liked it.We Were the Lucky Ones by Georgia Hunter (5/5) (historical fiction/Holocaust) Told from the viewpoints of various members of a Jewish family from Poland.
Thanks to tiggrbaby and others for the information on this book. Since it switches back and forth between the various family members stories, I had to make a crib sheet to keep straight who was who and how they were related.
