The Lost Wife by Alyson Richman

5.0

I know it's a little weird to call a Holocaust book "lovely", but I found this one surprisingly so. Maybe because I recently found out that I'm a tiny bit Czech Jewish, this story of Lenka and Josef, who fall in love and get married as World War II is beginning and then separate for a lifetime, believing each other is dead, really resonated with me. I recommend this one, especially anyone interested in Holocaust books, as well-rendered and poignant without being overdone.
