Eva Ibbotson's A Song for Summer
After reading several dark books in a row, I needed a palate cleanser, so I reread this pleasant and funny book about a sensible English woman taking a job at a boarding school for the arts in Austria. In 1937. It's not a traditional romance, but there is a love story at the heart of it (and the love interest is busy rescuing people from the Nazis, so high five there). I actually had forgotten that the last third is set later, during and after the war, but it’s still somehow a lighter read. Very satisfying.
