2018 Winter, audiobook:

This was one of the December free-to-member-picks from Audible, that, yes, I ended up listening to in January once Christmas rush was finally freed up and my traveling was over.

I didn't read close enough (or maybe at all) on the summary of this one, because somehow it skipped my brain entirely what this story was about (and as a history major, and being in love with Brooks' song about it, I know ALL ABOUT THIS event in history), but I didn't realize until they were walking out to meet the German's carrying the trees and the singing start, and then -- I was just in tears. Which lasted through the next almost ten minutes of it, and counts in as possibly the second only book (and only historical novelization) I've cried at.

It's beautiful. I love this fictionalized version of the events, the people, everything.
