Those Who Save Us by Jenna Blum (#21, Fiction)

This genre really never gets old.  Any version or take on events during World War II will always captivate me.  Jenna Blum is a good writer and I loved where she started and was going with this novel, but somehow the end just didn't do justice to the rest of the story. 

Blum ties together the present day story of Trudy, a professor of German history, along with the story of Anna, her mother, a German woman who lived through the war in Germany.  It tackles the question of "what would you do?"  Much easier answered than done.  I continue to enjoy reading the story of WWII from various perspectives, because nothing is ever completely black or white, right?
