Corelli's Mandolin by Louis De Bernieres is a fantastic story about a small Greek island during World War 2.
The book is a bit long. Though I read it quickly I occasionally felt I would never finish. But that is more due to the language than anything. This is a translated work but there are still smatterings of Greek, Italian, German, and French throughout the story.
I found the story captivating and assuming that it is historically accurate I found it educational as well. The brutalities of war mixed with the humanity and kindness. This was simply a wonderful story.
