The Director by Daniel Kehlmann, translated by Ross Benjamin is based on the life of film director G.W Pabst, who was trapped in Austria at the start of WW2 and coerced into making movies for the Germans.review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I have to say The Names by Florence Knapp is quite a debut. It takes choosing a name for your baby to a whole nuther level, especially when the father is a control freak. Terrific book club choice or conversation starter.

Not every author should narrate their own audiobook, but Kate Grenville's rendition of Unsettled: A Journey through Time and Place really enhances the read: it's perfect. 5★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Forget Me Not by Stacy Willingham is an atmospheric and immersive slow burn about a woman searching for the truth for her sister who disappeared 20 years before. The location and several unexpected twists set it apart from the usual 'disappearing girl' trope.review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
