Historical
From the beloved author of Comeback Love and Wherever There Is Light, comes โa sweeping tale full of humor and heartbreakโ (Karin Tanabe, author of The Diplomatโs Daughter) about the life-changing journey of a young man who travels from New Jersey to Khrushchevโs Russia and the beaches of Southern France to discover long-hidden secrets about his heritage. In 1950s New Jersey, teacher Michael Danielsโor Misha Danielov to his doting Russian-Jewish grandmotherโis at loose ends, until he becomes the host of a nightly underground radio show. Not only does the show become a local hit because of his running satires of USSR leader Nikita Khrushchev, but half a world away, it picks up listeners in a small Soviet city. There, with rock and roll leaking in through bootlegged airwaves, Yulianna Kosoyโa war orphan in her mid-twentiesโis sneaking American goods into the country with her boss, Der Schmuggler. But just as Michaelโs radio show is taking off, his grandmother is murdered. Why would anyone commit such an atrocity against such a warm, affable woman? She had always been secretive about her past and, as Michael discovers, guarded a shadowy ancestral history. In order to solve the mystery of who killed her, Michael sets out for Europe to learn where heโand his grandmotherโreally came from. โBoth heartbreaking and mesmerizing, Nothing Is Forgotten is the sort of book you wonโt soon forgetโฆCold War Europe, lingering Nazi secrets, and the tragic history faced by millions of families not only bring this tale to life but will keep you turning the pagesโ (Lisa Wingate, New York Times bestselling author) and will appeal to fans of novels by Anita Diamant and Kristin Hannah.
