This is one of the highest rated book on my TBR list - Originally added July 2, 2020.

This was a well-written book and was an interesting story. Unfortunately, I am rather burned out with the WWII genre. I really should take a long break before I try to read another one from that era.

From the Publisher:
Slipping between Nazi-occupied Poland and the frenetic pace of modern life, Kelly Rimmer creates an emotional and finely wrought narrative that weaves together two women’s stories into a tapestry of perseverance, loyalty, love, and honor. The Things We Cannot Say is an unshakable reminder of the devastation when truth is silenced...and how it can take a lifetime to find our voice before we learn to trust it.

I'm just not a fan of this format. Alina's story was enough. Adding in the modern day mystery was unnecessary, and the marital problems and child with autism felt like bait
