Everyone  Brave Is Forgiven by Chris Cleave promises to have many of the appeal factors that All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr, the bestseller that was read widely and  released this past year.




The cover of Chris Cleave's book seems to foretell darkness and mystery within.  The searchlights in the background reminds one of the "Lights Out" ban during the German bombing campaigns over the city of London during WWII.
From some of the reviews that I read, this novel has many of the twists and turns that hold our attention and tell a good story. There is romance, intrigue, fateful decisions. There is also deeper realizations that this war didn't just involve many Jewish people who were punished, but also poor children, black children and others considered. "different."  An additional bit of interest is in knowing the author was inspired by love letters that were exchanged by his grandparents and these contribute to this story as well. 
To think, that in our present day, there are still survivors of this horrific time, with first hand accounts of what was endured and which have  now become part of our history.
