The Paris Apartment by Kelly Bowen
Set in WWII and in the present day, a young woman (Lia) inherits her grandmother's apartment in Paris that nobody knew she owned. The apartment looked as if it had been abandoned long ago and not touched since. Lia sets out to discover why there were many valuable things in the apartment and to whom they belonged. It was very good.
The Women by Kristin Hannah
A young nurse joins the Army and is shipped off to Viet Nam. If that experience wasn’t harrowing enough, she returns home after two tours only to be treated shabbily. I loved it.
