I just read this great book called "Skeletons at the Feast"


I really enjoyed this book! The story is set in Germany at the end of World War II and begins as a German family flees the Russians on their march to occupy Germany. The Emmerich family are a wealthy farming family who probably own hundreds if not thousands of acres. They leave a beautiful home to travel by horse and wagon west across Germany. Mutty, daughter Anna and her brother Theo start out with a POW named Collum. The father of the family and on of the sons stays behind to fight the Russians. It's a great read, I think we'll use it for the reading group.
