A 2015 staff favorite recommended by Connie and Ellen J. Connie says, "I loved this book. Years ago, I read a book called "Night Sky" by Clare Francis that I've held up as the standard for great historical fiction ever since. What these two books have in common is the French resistance during the Nazi occupation. The Nightingale is now my new standard. It felt true in all its heartbreak, horror and courage.''

Recommended by Ellen J., who writes, "I revisited Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy, after first reading this book about 30 years earlier. The first time I read this book, I was swept up by Anna’s courageous attempt to claim love for herself outside a loveless marriage. This time, I was more interested in the politics and lifestyle of Anna and the other characters of the tsarist high society. For them, the recently freed peasants, were from another world completely and their interactions were proscribed by propriety. Tolstoy’s genius, for me anyway, is his ability to bring his characters to life. I felt Anna’s pain and understood in a way I couldn't thirty years early, why hers was a doomed romance. If a reader is a bit leery of such a huge novel or intimidated by trying to remember those Russian names, I would recommend this book on audio.
