The Silence of Trees by Valya Dudycz Lupescu
5.0
Well, my review disappeared.
This is a very powerful book about a Ukranian girl, Nadya, who leaves her home one night to get her fortune read by a gypsy woman at a nearby camp in the woods. Her life is forever changed because that is the night the Germans destroy her village and family home. The book follows Nadya during WWII and for 50 years after the war. She is a woman of many secrets who, in the end, finds it is truth that sets one free.
The book is full of Ukranian customs and folklore. This is in the top 5 of my WWII books read.
