Genre: Historical Fiction

Author Georgia Hunter is back with her sophomore novel, One Good Thing, which published earlier this month. Does it live up to her wildly popular—based on her family history—first book, We Were the Lucky Ones? Absolutely, 1 million percent! Mrs. Hunter is a phenomenal story teller. I feel like her books have a cinematic feel to them. Hulu already made a series of We Were the Lucky Ones and I could see the same for One Good Thing.

{Thank you to @prhaudio for the #gifted listening copy! It’s read by Eva Feiler who made me feel so much!}

One Good Thing is a WWII novel that takes us from the University of Ferrara, to a convent in Florence, through southern Italy and to Rome. It’s a story of best friends Lili and Esti. When Esti is injured and can’t flee like her friend Lili, she asks her—no begs her— to take her son Theo with her. It’s an infuriating story of Mussolini’s Racial Laws, an underground world for forging papers, friendship, motherhood, and ultimately survival. It’s a reminder that even in the darkest days you can find light; you can find people to trust. You can keep going!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I highly recommend this book! If you’re like me and read a lot of historical fiction, you will appreciate this WWII story told from a different vantage point of Italy + Greek characters. Don’t skip the author’s note at the end!
