Catherine Chidgey's Remote Sympathy. I've recently come back to her novels and this one is riveting; huge, dense with research and just a small number of complex and thought-provoking characters. She manages to portray the horrors of Buchenwald without being so explicit that I couldn't turn the page, and because the dates and chronology are acknowledged throughout there is no inappropriate "suspense". I recommend this highly.
