All the Frequent Troubles of Our Days. A highly recommended book that won the Book Critics' Circle award for non-fiction, it's the story of a young American woman, married to a German and living in Berlin during the rise of Hitler and her involvement in the resistance.
The Overnight Guest. A supposed thriller that I forgot as soon as I finished it. Written in the style of a middle schooler--okay a high schooler--about a woman trapped in a snowstorm who discovers a child in the snow and later an injured woman near a wrecked car. Secrets are revealed. Amazon listed this as an editor's pick. I can't imagine why.
In Love. A memoir about the author's husband, diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's who decides to end his life at Dignitas in Switzerland. I didn't have the emotional response I would have expected from this tragic story, but it was interesting.
