Emily Emerson receives a painting she cannot account for: her grandmother, young and unguarded, standing at the edge of a sugarcane field under a violet sky. The note attached says only that he never stopped loving her. What follows takes Emily from Florida to Munich and back, through the largely forgotten history of German POW camps in wartime America, where lives intersected in ways that families have been keeping quiet ever since. Harmel writes intergenerational secrets with real emotional intelligence and a sure hand for the historical detail that makes them feel lived.
Excellent choice. I have only read 3 books so far but have enjoyed them immensely and I am looking forward to the next book. I have bought from bookhound before and will again. Thank you.
