Have not read her before but did see The Safety of Objects, not the best movie I've seen.
Just finished a book by Harry Turtledove (yes it's his real name) called "The war that came Early- West and East, It's an alternative history book about what would have happened if Neville Chamberlain had not been the "the great appeaser" in 1938.
What if Chamberlain had stood up to Hitler?
