Pulaski County’s comments from the PCLS Summer Reading 2014 group.

All the Light We Cannot See
This is a captivating tale of two young people in World War II: one a blind girl in France, and the other an orphan boy in Germany. The story thread runs between the two, and although the beginning shows no connection, you begin to see how their paths will converge. It is a bestseller with good reason!

Here's the link for the bookshelf: https://www.goodreads.com/group/books...
Alternatively, you can look to the top right of the screen when you are on the homepage for the Summer Reading group. "Bookshelf" is the first choice under "Group Home."
Once on the Bookshelf page, the "add book" search bar is at the top left.
Hope this helps!

The Secret Keeper
Described as “the secret history of three strangers from vastly different worlds—Dorothy, Vivien, and Jimmy—who meet by chance in wartime London and whose lives are forever entwined” (Goodreads), The Secret Keeper follows a daughter unearthing her mother’s hidden past. A good read with unexpected twists for anyone who enjoys historical fiction and/or mysteries.

This is a good place to discuss Historical Fiction books and authors.
