Yes, he is the same author. This is the 8th book of Bohjalian's I have read and I have to say they are all completely different. He is a versatile writer who is hard to pin down to a particular genre. Can't say I've loved all of them, but most of them have been a very positive reading experience.
Good review. How has this book never hit my radar? I'm glad this was a TBR book you enjoyed.

As the Emmerich family joins thousands of fleeing Germans who are hoping to intercept American or British troops, a group of emaciated Jewish women are force marched through freezing temperatures, snow and cruel deprivation by a group of Nazi guards who are determined to keep their captives away from the approaching Russians. The women are treated worse than animals and hundreds of them die or are killed along the way. Very few believe that they will ever see freedom.
I am a great fan of Bohjalian and this was a very good book. The characters of Anna, Callum and Uri are so well-drawn and likable. The story is suspenseful in that you never know who, or if any of them will survive. It is so heartbreaking and unrelentingly sad so be prepared for a difficult read.
