“Inspired by true events and her family’s history, Fowler has created an indelible portrait of love, loss, sacrifice, and courage set in the dangerous years following WWI. A compelling, deeply felt, and expertly researched story about the nature of evil and the very human price of fighting back against impossible odds.”—Kristin Hannah
"There is something almost Dickensian about Perilous Beautiful World—its abundance, its interconnected lives, its sense of fate operating in a world at once vast and astonishingly small. Therese Anne Fowler has created an unforgettable odyssey through the wreckage following World War I, breathtaking in scope but intensely human and intimate. Full of danger, heartbreak, coincidence, courage, and love, this is a story about what it takes to survive history, yes, but even more about what comes after: the brave, perilous work of making a life again. I loved it."
