Auntie Poldi and the Sicilian Lions

Panorama

Moving Walls: The Barracks of America’s Concentration Camps

This book focuses on the barracks of the Heart Mountain Relocation Center in Wyoming, where 14,000 Japanese-Americans were incarcerated during WWII.

Speak No Evil
Uzodinma Iweala (fiction, Harper)
