Latest listen: The Fire by Night, by Teresa Messineo, narrated by Kirsten Potter. This novel detailed the experiences of two army nurses during World War II, one in Europe trapped behind enemy lines, the other in the Pacific in a Japanese prison camp.
This was tough to listen to, because their experiences were so terrible. The story reminded me of two old WWII-era films--So Proudly We Hail and Cry Havoc--but grittier and more nightmarish. Best book of the year so far.
