YA Review: WE BURY NOTHING by @kateblairauthor 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 highly recommend Dual timeliness (I love when chapters roll between the past amd present and then it all collides at the end) I didn't know Canada had German POW camps in Canada! It's as if Agatha Cristie wrote historical fiction. History + muder mystery. The characters are imperfect and compelling and strong and vulnerable. Plot twist at the end I didn't see coming.
