NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Inspired by the incredible true story of one Jewish family separated at the start of World War II, determined to survive—and to reunite—We Were the Lucky Ones is a tribute to the triumph of hope and love against all odds It is the spring of 1939 and three generations of the Kurc family are doing their best to live normal lives, even as the shadow of war grows closer. The talk…
My book group agrees: We Were the Lucky Ones has an immediacy unlike any WWII novel we've read. Each thread offers a different perspective: Halina in a Krakow prison, Genek in a Siberian gulag, Mila digging her own grave as her young daughter watches on. The stunner is that all these characters survive ... in real life. Georgia Hunter didn't know she came from a family of Holocaust survivors until high school when she learned that every one of her grandfather's siblings—the characters in this meticulously researched "novel"—were reunited. I was lucky enough to consult on early drafts of WWTLO after Georgia's book club read my memoir. It's a thrill to see it a New York Times bestseller!
