No One Is Here Except All of Us by Ramona Ausubel

Ramona Ausubel creates this really beautiful and hollow voice in Lena as her village, hidden by a river in the Carpathians, "starts over" in the wake of World War II. We follow Lena's voice as she goes from a young girl to a woman in America, losing and gaining family along the way. While the prose is really beautiful and almost is whimsical, I felt like I was drowning in it at times and wanted some more stable language to stand on.

Overall, it takes an era of history and its issues and breathes some new life into it. Definitely worth a read!
