Great suggestions Cynthia and, in particular, I'm pleased to second your recommendation of a read of Anthony Doerr's 'All the Light We Cannot See'. For those for whom this is a-new-to-me novel here's an extract from Wikipedia's reference article about it: 'It revolves around the characters Marie-Laure LeBlanc, a blind French girl who takes refuge in her great-uncle's house in Saint-Malo after Paris is invaded by Nazi Germany, and Werner Pfennig, a bright German boy who is accepted into a military school because of his skills in radio technology. The book alternates between paralleling chapters depicting Marie-Laure and Werner.'
Hi Cynthia and Rob, thanks for the suggestion! I've got quite a bit of thoughts on this book, as it has been mentioned multiple times by the fellow story clubbers last year, and therefore posted a separate, long-ish comment.
