I'll second this one it sounds very interesting.

I can think of a book that I'd like to nominate, but it feels strange to nominate it myself. Then again, maybe it's not the sort of book that would fit in with the group? ...Secret Speakers and the Search for Selador's Gate

The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter or Special Topics in Calamity Physics. A friend of mine read the second one for a book club of hers and she said it was quite good

Those who save us by Jenna Blum

For fifty years, Anna Schlemmer has refused to talk about her life in Germany during World War II. Her daughter, Trudy, was only three when she and her mother were liberated by an American soldier and went to live with him in Minnesota. Trudy's sole evidence of the past is an old photograph; a family portrait showing Anna, Trudy, and a Nazi officer, the Obersturmfuumlehrer of Buchenwald. Driven by the guilt of her heritage, Trudy, now a professor of German history, begins investigating the past and finally unearths the dramatic and heartbreaking truth of her mother's life. Combining a passionate, doomed love story, a vivid evocation of life during the war, and a poignant mother/daughter drama, Those Who Save Us is a profound exploration of what we endure to survive and the legacy of shame.

Waiting for Snow in Havana: Confessions of a Cuban Boy by Carlos Eire.

This is a memoir of a boy born into money in Cuba. Everything is going well, life is wonderful until Batista is no longer in power and Castro takes over. Christmas is cancelled. Friends disappear. Children are being airlifted, without their parents.

the glory cloak by patricia o'brien

Me and Emma by Elizabeth Flock

Don't know why, but this book hit me as a really good read, and well written.

I second the nomination for "Nefertiti: A Novel".

I'd also like to add "Luncheon of the Boating Party" by Susan Vreeland.
