“The London House” by Katherine Reay

When someone from Caroline’s past reaches out to inform her that her family is about to be the subject of an article he’s writing revealing that her great-aunt Caro was involved with the Nazi party Caroline’s already fractured family is in danger of shattering completely. Unable to accept his narrative Caroline is determined to uncover the truth about their family’s past and returns to her grandmother’s home in London where the attic is filled with letters and journals detailing the lives of Margo and Caro. Caroline races against a deadline to finally figure out what Caro was really doing before she disappeared. Was she truly a Nazi traitor or could her letters reveal a far different role in the war. As a giant genealogy & history nerd this book was right up my alley. The idea of learning the stories of the people that came before us and helped mold our family into who they are now fascinates me. I would love to be able to get my hands on the records that they had access to for my grandfather. Maybe one day… If you are a fan of the His/Fic genre, add “The London House” to your TBR list.
