I just finished listening to the audiobook version of We Were the Lucky Ones , by Georgia Hunter. The book is about a Jewish family in Poland, and how each member of the family survives World War II and the Holocaust. The fact that although each member of the family has such a different story, and yet they all survive such a horrible time in history is just mind boggling. I haven't been so emotionally moved by the end of a book since Unbroken . Seriously. I didn't know if I wanted to hysterically sob or laugh with joy. I liked the informational asides although they are a bit unusual in historical fiction; I appreciated how they connected the story to the time in general. Don't forget about the Epilogue, by the way. This one was fantastic. Also, I tend to listen to books more because it's easier to fit into my schedule, especially when I'm doing mindless chores like laundry, etc. I really enjoyed the narrator, Kathleen Gati....
