Almost Autumn
Marianne Kaurin
In October 1942, fifteen-year-old Ilse Stern lives in Oslo, Norway, under German occupation. She looks forward to a first date with her neighbor, Hermann Rod, whom she has long liked. But Hermann is secretly working with the Resistance to help Norwegian Jews escape the country. As conditions worsen for Jewish families such as the Sterns and deportations begin, both romance and everyday life are overtaken by urgent choices about speaking out or looking away.
