Gorgeous writing and storytelling. Anna falls in love with Christoph. She goes to visit him in Germany and he takes her sightseeing, as they discuss literature, WWII, their grandfathers, etc. Christoph seems closed off about certain topics (including his grandfather’s role in WWII), but Anna is determined to be with him.

This was really lovely - the pacing worked well, as did the interspersed chapters featuring Jack and Hans. As much as I was rooting for Anna to break up with Christoph, I understood her choices. Highly recommended!

Thank you to Pantheon and NetGalley for the opportunity to read a copy.

For a short book of 250 pages, it still manages to pack a huge punch. With its emotional storylines, rich history, compelling familial themes and characters, The Scrapbook is a novel that I won’t be forgetting any time soon. Haunting in its delivery with achingly beautiful prose, I would recommend it to readers far and wide. Thank you Pantheon Books for the early copy in exchange for an honest review.

An excellent read for any and all readers! Author comes at you with both barrels and knocks you out of your shoes! Great job fleshing out all the characters. I give this book FIVE stars! Definitely recommend!
