Hunter finesses the challenge. Her novel brings the Kurcs to life in heart-pounding detail.-The Jewish Voice The story that so grippingly comes across in the pages of We Were the Lucky Ones isn't strictly fiction-the characters and events that inhabit this Holocaust survival story are based on her family's own history.-Newsweek [A] must-read.-New York Post [A] remarkable history . . . Hunter sidesteps hollow sentimentality and nihilism, revealing instead the beautiful complexity and ambiguity of life in this extraordinarily moving tale.-Publishers Weekly Selected as a Great Group Read by the Women's National Book Association Reading Georgia Hunter's We Were the Lucky Ones is like being swung heart first into history. Her engrossing and deeply affecting . . . will leave you breathless. But the true wonder of the book is how convincingly Hunter inhabits these characters, each modeled after her own family . This is their story Hunter is telling so beautifully and profoundly, and ours as well. A brave and mesmerizing debut, and a truly tremendous accomplishment.-Paula McLain, author of The Paris Wife and Circling the Sun We Were the Lucky Ones is the most gripping novel I've read in years.

This emotionally resonant, gripping portrait of the war is filled with beautifully drawn and wonderfully heroic characters I won't soon forget.-Jillian Cantor, author of Margot and The Hours Count Georgia Hunter has crafted her own family history into a sprawling, yet still intimate portrait of those swept up in the devastation of war and scattered to the winds. It is an astonishing saga of hope, of luck, of destruction, and most remarkably of love, made all the more astonishing because of the true story at its core.-David R. Gillham, New York Times bestselling author of City of Women Elegantly executed and always clear, Hunter evokes pre-war Poland with loving detail, clearly showing what was left behind and lost. . . . We Were the Lucky Ones is a compelling read, notable for Hunter's clear portraits of her plucky, resilient family, and for her ability to build suspense and investment without emotional manipulation.-Courtney Naliboff, ReformJudaism.org
