The Circus Train by Amita Parikh
5.0

Beautiful story about human perseverance and the power of love. It is a WW II novel, but the it had a unique perspective because the father-daughter main characters are Greek and traveling across Europe. Instead of Auschwitz, prisoners are sent to a work camp where in addition to manual labor, they perform. The descriptions were so lovely, I could see each scene in my mind.
