Recommended to me by another POPSUGAR editor, Beneath a Scarlet Sky ($15) prompted me to Slack my coworker, "OMG I AM NOT OK." So much of this WWII story is heartbreaking, made only more tragic by the fact that it's a completely true story told to the best of Mark Sullivan's ability from IRL interviews with the main character, Pino Lella. I read this book in 2019 while still commuting to work, so you'd best believe I openly bawled my eyes out on public transportation several times during the week I read it.
