I loved this book about life in the Italian Alps, and immigration in the US, ear.y 1900's. Enza and Ciro fist met in Italy, and were meant to find each other again in the US. Their story is one of love, hard work, and sacrifice. I loved this book!

This book takes place in pre world war 2, Prague. It is the story of Lenka and Josef, two young and wealthy Jews, who fall in love, but their world is about to fall apart around them. A beautifully written book, good character development, and graphic descrition of life in a concentration camp. This book made me cry in some parts! Worth reading!

This book is based on true story of an English village during the plaque. It was very interesting and informative!

This is a very informative book, very interesting non fiction! A good book for your book club.

This book is about five very different characters for all walks of life, who became double agents i. World War 2. They participated in espionage at great peril, and were successful in convincing the Germans that the D Day invasion would happen in a different place, other than Normandy. This book was difficult to read because each double agent had handlers on both sides, and more than one code name, as well as various other sub agents and characters. I had some trouble keeping track of all the characters involved, that said, this book is worth reading, especially for history buffs!

Very well written and researched historical fiction about the love affair between Frank Lloyd Wright and Mamah Cheney. While I found that I couldn't sympathize with the main characters, it was a book that I enjoyed.

I loved this book! It was so different from any other book I've read recently. It was fun, fast paced, interesting, unusual characters and I loved the ending! I'm eager for,our book club meeting to see how the other members liked this book.

Excellent book! If you enjoy historical fiction and WWII history, read this book! I loved the characters and the story, although tragic at times. This book gives the reader information on the Nazi occupation of France and the French resistance. Wonderful ending! Read this book!

We read this for our December book club meeting. All of us really liked the book! It is full of twists and turns and surprise ending. We had a lively discussion.

This was a fun and light read and gives the reader a chance to learn about the Korean culture and how difficult it was for the main character to grow up in her uncle's home in NYC. She feels like an outsider in her own family because she is half American. She never felt wanted after her mother died and she was pawned off on her uncle in America. This book takes you from NYC, and then to Korea as we follow Jane in her quest to find happiness and to figure out where she truly belongs.

Beautifully written novel about the choices people make, in an instant and how those choices, whether good or bad can impact you for the rest of your life. Young doctor has to deliver his own twins in the middle of a blizzard in 1964. One is born healthy, the other twin has Down Syndrome. Based on his own life experience with his sister who had a heart defect, the doctor hastily decides to give the baby to his nurse and tells his wife the twin was still born. This is a riveting story following each twin as they grow up and they dynamics of both families. Well worth reading, thought provoking and heart warming ending.

I read this book for my High Octane book club, which is geared toward spy and suspense novels. This is the second book we have read from this author, and he does not disappoint! If you enjoy reading this type of book, give this author a try. The first book in this series is called The Faithful Spy.

Very moving book about two women and their lives living in Afghanistan. The book follows both women in different time periods and details how difficult life is for women living under Islamic laws. This is a beautifully told story about the spirit of these two women and how they tried to have some control and meaning to their lives.

This book was just so-so for me. The author introduced us to too many characters and never really develops any of them for the reader to care about! The topic is an interesting piece of history, and quite an amazing feat! I am sure we could not pull off anything like this, in this time and age!

This is a beautiful story that takes place in the 1920's in Alaska. The author based this book on an old Russian fairytale about a childless couple who builds a snow child, and she comes to life. The author takes us on a journey through the wilderness of Alaska and you can actually feel how cold it is while reading the story. This book is about life and love, challenges and losses, hope and loyalty. I really liked it!

Really good book! We enjoyed it.
