It's actually kind of funny - I try to have 3 books or so going at any given time: one physical book, one e-book, and one audiobook. I tend to listen to a lot of true crime audiobooks, because those are my cat's favorite (long story) and for some reason, all of the audiobooks I was finding through Libby that day were WWII/Holocaust-related.
I wasn't really in the mood for something that dark, so I picked up this book.
Which was great! It's got a touch of magical realism, decadent descriptions of pastries, lots of interesting characters, and a good moral at its heart.
And it also heavily revolves around the Nazi occupation of Compiègne.
