Giveaway: The Things We Cherished

Giveaway, Historical Fiction, Romance, WWII

Thanks to Doubleday Books, I have two copies of The Things We Cherished to give away to my readers.

I just received my copy of this book, a story of love and betrayal set during World War II. A combination of historical mystery, legal thriller, and romance novel, I can’t wait to get started reading this one.

Description from the publisher:

The Things We Cherished
by Pam Jenoff

Genre: Historical Fiction
Publisher: Doubleday
Publish Date: July 12, 2011
Format: Hardcover | 304 pages

An ambitious novel that spans decades and continents, The Things We Cherished tells the story of Charlotte Gold and Jack Harrington, two fiercely independent attorneys who find themselves slowly falling for one another while working to defend the brother of a Holocaust hero against allegations of World War II–era war crimes.

The defendant, wealthy financier Roger Dykmans, mysteriously refuses to help in his own defense, revealing only that proof of his innocence lies within an intricate timepiece last seen in Nazi Germany. As the narrative moves from Philadelphia to Germany, Poland, and Italy, we are given glimpses of the lives that the anniversary clock has touched over the past century, and learn about the love affair that turned a brother into a traitor.

Rich in historical detail, Jenoff’s astonishing new work is a testament to true love under the worst of circumstances.
