Restitution

I enjoyed Restitution by Eliza Graham which is a novel about the life of a woman who lived through WWII as a teenager. Alexandra (in 2002) meets her son, Michael, whom she adopted out during the War. She tells him her story as they travel to Poland together where Alexandra's Prussian family lived until the War. The story jumps back and forth in time as the reader learns about Alexandra's parents, her friends and her own story of how she escaped the Nazis and then the Russian occupation. As with any War story, there is much loss, suffering and regret. And there is love. 4/5
