Praise For This Book


"A stunning story of survival." -People

"Epic, intimate, thrilling and beautiful. One Good Thing is a story of unbreakable friendship, of remarkable resilience, of how love and hope can shine through even the darkest, most unimaginable horrors. Stunning." -Chris Whitaker, New York Times bestselling author of All the Colors of the Dark

"In One Good Thing, Georgia Hunter builds a whole world from the complicated sweep of history and the heartbeat of one young woman's struggle to survive. The novel is a fascinating glimpse into a piece of WWII history I knew very little about, and a truly moving portrait of what it means to be brave. Lili's journey is thrilling and intimate: I made myself read slowly in order to savor it. It entered my dreams. I did not want this beautiful book to end." -Lauren Fox, New York Times bestselling author of Send for Me

"Georgia Hunter proves herself to be a remarkable storyteller who brings to vivid life a group of ordinary people living through extraordinary times.... Thrilling, romantic, and deeply meaningful, it is a tribute to hope and love and all the things that matter most." -Ariel Lawhon, New York Times bestselling author of The Frozen River

"Georgia Hunter is a skilled author who weaves together unforgettable well-developed characters, then places them into dreadful situations they never dreamed of experiencing. The resulting courage reflects positively upon the protagonist's burgeoning character. Hunter's research, plot, character development, and ability to use tension and release are all accurate, well-crafted, and credible. This is a powerful novel whose historical situations and commanding characters remain with you for a long time." -New York Journal of Books

"A stirring novel of bravery and sacrifice in WWII Italy. . . Fans of Hunter's previous book and the miniseries based on it will be pleased." -Publishers Weekly

"One Good Thing is a well-paced novel; at times exciting, and at other times tragic, this story will engage and move readers. Perhaps more than anything, readers will learn from this well researched and most humanizing of novels." -Jewish Book Council

"An unforgettable story of friendship and resilience....One Good Thing is a testament to courage, sacrifice, and unbreakable bonds. Readers will be reminded of the extraordinary power of love even in the darkest of times." -SheReads
