Historical
From the beloved author of Comeback Love and
Wherever There Is Light, comes “a sweeping tale full
of humor and heartbreak” (Karin Tanabe, author of The
Diplomat’s Daughter) about the life-changing journey of
a young man who travels from New Jersey to Khrushchev’s
Russia and the beaches of Southern France to discover
long-hidden secrets about his heritage. In 1950s New Jersey, teacher Michael Daniels—or Misha
Danielov to his doting Russian-Jewish grandmother—is 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 Kosoy—a war orphan in her mid-twenties—is
sneaking American goods into the country with her boss, Der
Schmuggler. But just as Michael’s 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 he—and his grandmother—really came from. “Both heartbreaking and mesmerizing, Nothing Is Forgotten
is the sort of book you won’t soon forget…Cold 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 pages” (Lisa Wingate, New York
Times bestselling author) and will appeal to fans of
novels by Anita Diamant and Kristin Hannah.
