This remains one of my overall favorites. Here's the summary from the author's website: The Nightingale tells the stories of two sisters, separated by years and experience, by ideals, passion and circumstance, each embarking on her own dangerous path toward survival, love, and freedom in German-occupied, war-torn France–a heartbreakingly beautiful novel that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the durability of women.

There's also the sequel, The Family Remains. Summary: The Family Upstairs tells the stories of three characters: Libby, Lucy, and Henry. Alternating third-person chapters follow Libby and Lucy’s lives as adults, alongside Henry’s memories of growing up in a mansion in Chelsea in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Libby is a 25-year-old woman living in London when she receives a letter indicating she has inherited a mansion in Chelsea that belonged to her biological family. Libby doesn’t know much about her biological family because she was adopted as a baby. She quickly learns that the house has a dark past, and the novel follows Libby as she unravels the house’s mystery.

Upstream has probably influenced my understanding of leadership more than any other book I've read so far. Here's a partial summary from Amazon: So often in life, we get stuck in a cycle of response. We put out fires. We deal with emergencies. We stay downstream, handling one problem after another, but we never make our way upstream to fix the systems that caused the problems. Cops chase robbers, doctors treat patients with chronic illnesses, and call-center reps address customer complaints. But many crimes, chronic illnesses, and customer complaints are preventable. So why do our efforts skew so heavily toward reaction rather than prevention?

Multiple Londons. One magical traveler. And trouble, of course. This fast-paced fantasy follows Kell, who can move between parallel worlds—until he smuggles something he shouldn’t have. With layered world-building, sharp magic, and complex characters, it’s a great next step for those who grew up loving Harry Potter and are ready for something darker, sleeker, and just as immersive.
