The Things We Cherished / Pam Jenoff 288 pp.

A decent if forgettable World War II-era romance and legal thriller.  Charlotte Gold is a Philadelphia attorney persuaded to assist in the defense of an aged man on trial at the Hague for war crimes. The period drama is well-imagined but the contemporary romance, in which Charlotte falls for the brother of her old fiance, is a bit contrived.  (He likes you, you like him, you're not getting any younger, go to bed already...)
