This historical fiction centers around the Jewish population living in Italy during the war. It was a very unique perspective. Unfortunately, you could tell this story was translated. There were phrases that did not make sense and really took me out of the story.

While this book covers a time period I am unfamiliar with, I did not finish this book. The writing was good, but the story did not hold my attention so I had to put it down.

Another WWII historical fiction, but this one is definitely unique. The setting in Italy opened my eyes to a lot of aspects of WWII that I didn't know, so I do recommend picking this up, even if you feel burnt out.

A quite but powerful story of WWII and life for the Jewish population living in Italy.. I really appreciated how it while it was set during WWII, it wasn't necessarily about that. It was more about a family. I loved how it was inspired by the authors husband. The translation is great and I think many readers will appreciate this lovely book.

I received a free digital advance review copy from Europa Editions via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

Tonight is Already Tomorrow is a well written book that centers on a Jewish family in Italy in the years just before and during World War II. The reader experiences the characters' disbelief as their daily lives are disrupted and increasingly threatened. I can appreciate that the book is well written, though it was not to my personal taste. The book's slow pacing and detached tone (the characters seemed somewhat distant) reminded me of My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante and Rules of Civility by Amor Towles, so readers who enjoyed those books may also enjoy this one.

This is a thought-provoking story, not a fast read, but it does have depth, especially after you read it and mull it over. I found it hard to follow sometimes with so many family members and the names were hard to remember since they were so foreign to me.
We follow Alessandro, a young genius of only 9 years old, his trials and tribulations living with his extended family and the hardships of the children at school that bullied him. The author has a lovely way of writing, I felt that was the best part of the book since the storyline was sometimes slow.
The story depicts the Jewish faith and describes the reasons for some of the ways they acted and behaved. It perfectly describes the progress of the Jewish restrictions enacted by the government. I found that very interesting. There was one sentence said to Alessandro from the rabbi that I found so beautiful and memorable, he said “You say you only believe in God sometimes. You should know, though, that God believes in you always”. Quite lovely.
I was given the opportunity to read an ARC from Europa Editions and NetGalley for my honest unbiased review. This one comes in with 4 stars.

"Tonight Is Already Tomorrow" really provides an understanding of what it was like to be a Jew in World War II Italy without the advantage of hindsight that we as readers have. It's easy for us to say, "I'd have escaped the moment the Fascists passed the racial laws," but that's largely because we know what ensued. Here, we're privy to the thought processes of those who stayed, who tried to live life as usual... until they couldn't.

Because the focus is on people trying to carry on as normal in abnormal times, the story lacks drama at times and seems to spend a fair amount of energy on the relatively mundane. But that's the point, and so the sense of dread develops slowly, just as it must have in reality.

I wish I'd warmed to the characters more, but there seemed a sense of distance that made this, for me, more of an intellectual than an emotional read. I definitely recommend it, though, especially as a palate cleaner after WWII novels that focus on improbable heroics and make the war seem like a grand adventure.

Thank you, NetGalley and Europa Editions, for providing me with an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
