The Light in the Ruins

I love Chris Bohjalian. His latest, "The Light in the Ruins", did not disappoint. During WW2, in Italy, an Italian nobleman's family is forced to play host to Nazis, who overrun their country estate. Ten year later, someone is killing off the remaining living members of the family. It was heartbreaking and beautifully told and really made me think about the idea of how much choice we really have in certain matters.
