An interesting combination of historical fiction and a little bit of sci-fi which took me out of my comfort zone, but I definitely enjoyed the gentle nudge. Set during WWII and ending in the 1970s, this book takes the reader on a tour of history through the eyes of one family as they live with an extraordinary secret.

Four stars because this book is very unusual. It has glimpses of other stories, but it stands on its own. Also, although unusual, the characterization of the people was spot on- the family members and the people in the town. I felt as though the author was alluding to more and that the book would be good discussion for a book club because of this.
