WWII Recommendations
Last weekend, we had a great discussion surrounding City of Thieves by David Benioff, and several people recommended further reading about WWII. And so, we compiled this- a list of books surrounding the theme of WWII. These are NOT books we're strictly reading for club; rather, they are recommendations from fellow readers. Enjoy! Feel free to add others in comments.
1. Stones from the River by Ursula Hegi (from Tracy)
2. The Girl in the Green Sweater: A Life in Holocaust's Shadow by Krystyna Chiger and Daniel Paisner (from Stacy)
3. The Winter Garden by Kristin Hannah (from Kiersten)
4. Backing Hitler: Consent and Coercion in Nazi Germany by Robert Gellately (from Kiersten)
5. Walking Since Daybreak: A Story of Eastern Europe, WWII, and the Heart of Our Country by Modrus Elestein (from Kiersten)
And, two books that we've already read as a book club but that we highly recommend for anyone that wasn't around yet:
6. Unbroken: A WWII Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption by Lauren Hillenbrand (from the archives)
7. The Book Thief by Markus Zusak (from the archives)
One last note- the US movie premiere date of The Book Thief has changed multiple times, but most recently I can tell it was changed BACK to Nov 15th. Sorry for correcting you Tracy- I'm not sure why the date has changed, but the Zusak said it was November, so I'm trusting him.
