Unforgettable
An incredibly and historically accurate detailing of a Polish family that keeps better records than one of those generic ancestry websites, following members through several major historical events. It's a solid undertaking that was, amazingly, inspired by a train ride. Well worth the investment in time to read. Entertaining and educational.
