Madeleine Albright's memoir of her wartime childhood in Czechoslovakia records the period between 1937 to 1948, with all the intricacies of Hitler's rise to power and defeat, the ensuing changes in Europe following the war and the resulting effects for the world and a small child who ultimately became U.S. Secretary of State.

Just finished The Call by Yannick Murphy. I recommend this book to adults as a refreshingly different family oriented mystery. A vet records each "call" and the action taken, followed by what his children say to him on his return home and what his wife cooks for dinner. Gradually the whole cloth is made of the threads. An affecting piece of literature, deceptively simple.
