She read
Release date: September 10, 2019
The United States is on the threshold of entering World War II. Charlie Mossman, a Jewish college instructor, husband, and father who drinks a bit too much accidentally kills a young man while engaging in fisticuffs with Nazi sympathizers.
Two years later, he is released from prison. His wife has moved on, but does allow him visits with their daughter, Emma. Charlie soon suspects that the Swiss couple living across the hall from his wife and Emma may not be who they claim and decides to investigate.
Although the story does take a while to play out and there are no real surprises here, this was a fast, easy, engrossing read. While there are some minor anachronisms, much of the background of the story is historically factual and fasciniating.
