Memoirs written by poets and novelists often have a special charm to them, even when they deal with difficult and painful subjects, and Joe Dunthorne’s book, based on his family’s history, takes this a step further, infusing energy and intensity into the narrative and bringing the reader directly into his remarkable adventure.

Review By – July 2, 2024 Many read­ers pick up mem­oirs about fam­i­lies who sur­vived the Holo­caust and expect them to engage with every ele­ment of the Shoah. These demands are noble in nature, but they often over­look the fact that the expe­ri­ences of the indi­vid­ual are what tru­ly dis­tin­guish a mem­oir.

I’m fas­ci­nat­ed by secrets. Who guards them? What are the stakes for reveal­ing them? My first young adult nov­el, The Poet­ry of Secrets, was about cryp­to-Jews dur­ing the Span­ish Inqui­si­tion. For them, keep­ing a secret was a mat­ter of survival. Then, while search­ing for inspi­ra­tion for my sopho­more nov­el, Tra­jec­to­ry, I came across a lit­tle-known group of women dur­ing World War II who helped lead the US Army to vic­to­ry by doing some­thing that was clas­si­fied.
