Booktalk with Diana Korte · Aug 6, 2025 · 9m

Georgia Hunter's first historical novel, “We Were the Lucky Ones” was born of her quest to uncover her family's staggering history. The book’s chapters are written in the voices of her ancestors, most of whom were in Poland at the beginning of World War II when 3 generations still gathered at the dining room table. By the end of the war, they had scattered to five continents. This book has been published in 20 languages and adapted into a critically acclaimed TV series. Georgia Hunter and I met for this conversation in 2018. Her newest historical novel is "One Good Thing."
