Currently about 130+ pages into "Suite Francaise" by Irene Nemirovsky. The book is interesting - a portrait of France during the German occupation, as told through the lives of a few specific women - but it is at least as interesting for the story behind it. The book was lost for some 60 or more years, because the author was arrested in 1942, and died in Auschwitz.
This is the only novel I've ever come across that describes a war while the war is ongoing, with no knowledge of how it ends. I'm sure such things exist, I've just not seen them.
There are a couple of appendices in this edition, so although the book is quite large, the actual novel is about 350 pages. So far I'm finding it well worth the read.
