Skeletons at the Feast: A Novel by Chris Bohjalian. “Bohjalian got me with this one, as he did with two other books of his I read. It took me about 1/4 of the way into it to get hooked, but I stayed up until 1 am last finishing it. His writing is really quite nice, possibly underrated. His storytelling is compelling. Several stories are woven together in this book, the main being the plight of an aristocratic Prussian family forced to march west in the waning months of WWII. The horrors and atrocities of the war are on full display -- almost, but somehow not quite, unbearable to read about. Really good read, really good reminder.” (Ed: I also really liked Bohjalian's previous works, Midwives and The Double Bind.)
