That sounds interesting. Look forward to your thoughts!

Stay Where You Are Then Leave by John Boyne, YA fiction set around a boy's quest to find out the truth about his father's disappearance during WWI. An engaging and poignant but mercifully unsentimental look at the cost of war. No doubt we will be inundated with WWI fiction as the 100th anniversary of the start of the war approaches, but I think this will stand up well in the flood to come.

I mentioned before that I'm reading "William and Mary" by Henri and Barbara van der Zee, but there's been errors I caught from my reading on Charles II and James II so I'll be reading John Van der Kiste book on Kindle my second time around, since I want to make sure I'm not learning a lot wrong things on them.

I'm not familiar with the van der Zee biography. I did look it up and saw that it was published in 1973. John Van Der Kiste's is much more recent, within the past few years.

Brenna, it is set in the present time in Munich (so far). The premise seems to be that the "true" circumstances of Ludwig's death have been covered up. I haven't gotten too far yet. I've been to Munich, so that helps me visualize things more.Originally Posted by Brenna

Brenna, I'll let you know what I think. I very much liked Pötzsch's Hangman's Daughter mysteries.
