This book was chosen by my book club. I finished it in one day, and ended up ugly crying at the ending. This book was very nicely written, going back and forth between World War II Poland and present day USA. The story centers around a young woman, Alina, growing up in Poland during WWII. She falls in love with Tomasz and they are torn apart by the war.
Alice, the granddaughter of Hanna, is the other narrator. She has two children, one who is very gifted and one who is on the autism spectrum. She manages the house and her children's activities, and it seems clear that she has no assistance from her husband Wade. Alice's grandmother ends up in the hospital following a stroke, and she communicates with the family by using her great-grandson's communication device. Through the device, Hanna asks Alice to go back to Poland to find her hometown and Tomasz.
The story was so good, I could not put it down. I would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys historical fiction with romance and real life scenarios
