Anna is about to graduate when she falls hard for Christoph, a visiting German student. Captivated by his beauty and intelligence, she follows him to Germany, where charming squares and grand facades belie the nation's recent history and the war's destruction. Christoph condemns his country's actions but remains cryptic about the part his own grandfather played. Anna, meanwhile, cannot forget the photos taken by her American GI grandfather at the end of the war, preserved in a scrapbook only she has seen. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs Anna travels back and forth to Germany to deepen her relationship with the elusive Christoph, her perspective is powerfully interrupted by chapters that follow both of their grandfathers during the war. One witnesses the plight of Holocaust victims in the days after liberation and helps capture Hitler's Eagle's Nest, while the other fights for Nazi Germany. Their fragmented stories haunt Anna and her lover two generations later--and may still tear them apart. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNot a \"World War Two novel\" in the traditional sense, \u003ci\u003eThe Scrapbook\u003c\/i\u003e delivers a consuming tale of first love, laced with a backstory of dark family legacies and historical conscience.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHEATHER CLARK is the author of \u003ci\u003eRed Comet\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Short Life and Blazing Art of Sylvia Plath\u003c\/i\u003e, one of the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e's Ten Best Books of 2021, as well as a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Critics Circle Award, and the \u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/i\u003e Book Prize, and a \"Book of the Year\" in \u003ci\u003eThe Guardian\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Times\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Boston Globe\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLiterary Hub\u003c\/i\u003e, and elsewhere.
