A moving story by debut author, Jennifer Rosner; inspired by true stories of WWII, family displacement and loss, running and hiding from the enemies (Nazzi or Neighbor), new friends and lives at stake.
This is an emotional ride of survival between mother, Roza, and daughter , Shira . The unspeakable that is required of Roza to keep her daughter fed and safe. The daily anxiety and truth kept from Shira, the grave illness of Shira, the constant threat of exposure, death and the ultimate separation to keep Shira safe. Ultimately, Shira thrives and matures because of the kindness of good people and the nuns. This book is a well-written historical fiction debut. Anyone interested in this period would be well advised to give this title a try. A very satisfying read. - Jill Tofferi, library director

"As Nazi soldiers round up the Jews in their town, Róza and her 5-year-old daughter, Shira, flee, seeking shelter in a neighbor’s barn. Hidden in the hayloft day and night, Shira struggles to stay still and quiet, as music pulses through her and the farmyard outside beckons. To soothe her daughter and pass the time, Róza tells her a story about a girl in an enchanted garden:
The girl is forbidden from making a sound, so the yellow bird sings. He sings whatever the girl composes in her head: high-pitched trills of piccolo; low-throated growls of contrabassoon. Music helps the flowers bloom." - Barnes and Noble

It took me about 2 hours of stopping and starting to become interested in this title. The story-line is very slow-paced. For the most part, the setting is in Vietnam for a bike tour or in a NYC hospital where the lead character Alexis met and treated Austin. And yes, she fell for him and then he had an accident or was it murder? What follows is the intertwining of characters that have been involved with Austin, his lies and cover-ups, medical technology and rats! What are the clues that will reveal the truth? Will the FBI or Vietnamese police solve the mystery???
Anyone that reads Bohjalian, will know Vermont is most often part of his setting. However, in this case I found it unnecessary, a distraction or even unbelievable. The mention of Vermont a few times added nothing to the story.
However, for all you Bohjalian fans, it is a good read – just not an outstanding one for me.

"The first time Alexis saw Austin, it was a Saturday night. Not in a bar, but in the emergency room where Alexis sutured a bullet wound in his arm. Six months later, on the brink of falling in love, they travel to Vietnam on a bike tour so that Austin can show her his passion for cycling and he can pay his respects to the place where his father and uncle fought in the war. But as Alexis sips white wine and waits at the hotel for him to return from his solo ride, two men emerge from the tall grass and Austin vanishes into thin air."

With an Unlikely freshman heroine and mysterious ghosts this fantasy laden story monitors the occult activities of Yale's secret societies (Scull and Bones, Scroll and Key . . . ). It is a haunting and funny blend of the real and the uncanny and a magical read.

"The mesmerizing adult debut from Leigh Bardugo, a tale of power, privilege, dark magic, and murder set among the Ivy League elite
Galaxy “Alex” Stern is the most unlikely member of Yale’s freshman class. Raised in the Los Angeles hinterlands by a hippie mom, Alex dropped out of school early and into a world of shady drug-dealer boyfriends, dead-end jobs, and much, much worse. In fact, by age twenty, she is the sole survivor of a horrific, unsolved multiple homicide. - Barnes and Noble"
