Heartbreaking, but Beautiful

I just finished The Lost Wife by Alyson Richman (2011). This is a beautiful story. It begins with the end of the story (which allows you to know that neither party died) but soon takes you back to the beginning. It tells of a newly-married couple who have the opportunity to leave Europe just before the Gestapo begins rounding up Jews to be sent to "work camps". The husband is committed to going with his family, but the bride elects to stay with her own family until they too can leave. Having lost each other, both Lenka and Josef go on living, but their love never dies. An interesting part of the presentation is that most of Lenka's story is told by her as a young woman, while most of Josef's is as the memories of an old man. I would recommend this to anyone.
