One of my favorite historical fiction formats - where the story bounces between a modern day person and one In the past and their stories connect. This one goes between a woman in early 1900s Sicily and one in modern times from Philadelphia who travels to Sicily to seek the truth of a possible inheritance.

I love John Scalzi's writing, but the style of this book didn't work for me. The premise was clever but the story and an audiobook didn't work.
There's a lot of dialog and every starmentb ends with ____ said.
"I want a burger" John said.
"I do too." Carl said.
"ok" John said.
"Let's go" Carl said
In the written form you can probably gloss over it? But in audio form it gets distractingly annoying.

Historical fiction from World War II in Hawaii, starting on the day Pearl Harbor was bombed. Told from POV of one young woman about herself and a group of young women recruited to be naval officers who receive radar plots from planes and spotters, helping to keep the island safe.
Wish there had been an author's note explaining the background of the book and how much truth it was based on.

A memoir of a young woman and a reflection in her relationship with her mother, her heritage and her history. My mother died of cancer when I was a teenager. It was so intimate to read this woman's story and see the similarities and differences to mine.
