Story
For eighteen-year-old Lena O’Sullivan, life is predictable and dull. A future of hard work, marriage to a local boy, and a family of her own one day is all she has to look forward to. People from her background know not to expect too much, but Lena yearns for something different. Malachy Berger was different; for him, the world is at his feet. An only child of a wealthy if peculiar father, a large inheritance, a beautiful house, and a fine education are his due.

Story
Carmel, a 40-year-old Irish woman, is living a life that’s fine, not exciting or awful, just fine. She has a house, a husband, it’s all okay. She never had kids, but that’s just life, right? She knows she should be grateful. She’s better off than a lot of people. Then one day, out of the blue, she gets a Facebook message from a total stranger with information that could transform her life, for better or for much worse. It could be a scam. It could be malicious. It could be a crazy person. But what if what they say is true?

Summary
Kilteegan Bridge, Ireland 1963.
On the face of it, life is idyllic for Eli and Lena Kogan. Living in their beautiful house in the Irish countryside, their children are growing up happy and safe surrounded by a loving community. So when a letter arrives one day threatening to shatter their peaceful and prosperous world, Lena and Eli have no option but face the dark reality of their situation. How best to do that, is something that drives a wedge between them.
As a Jewish child, escaped from Germany in 1939, Eli is all for letting those dark days where they belong, for him, there’s no future in the past.
But for Lena, it’s different. She knows that the only way she can move her family forward in peace is to first go back, and there is only one man who knows the whole truth. From rural Ireland to wartime France, What Divides us, tells a tale of loyalty and love, resentment and revenge, that has far reaching consequences for the Kogan family, the unravelling of which might just destroy their future.

Another great book
I really enjoy listening to Ms. Waring when she narrates Mrs. Grainger’s novels. The voices are excellent and I find myself getting wrapped up in the characters. I was so sad for What Divides Us to end. I hope the series continues.

Quite Enjoyable!
This was a satisfying Book 2 of the O'Sullivan family. It continued to explore mental illness, adoptive relationships, prejudice, war crimes, and heritage. Yet these topics are wrapped in a blanket of gentleness and love of family. This story also deepened my understanding of living in the Holocaust era by personalizing Eli's story. I really enjoyed it! Now, on to Book 3!
