This year, I have not had many review books come my way. It started dwindling about a year and a half ago, as everything seemed to move to Instagram.
As much as I understand the need for companies/publishers to go with the flow, and what is the fad of the moment, I can't help but find it so discouraging, that the blogs who have helped review and get these books out for years, are being set aside.
It's sad.
However, I guess it means I finally get to read through my bookshelves. I have so many that have yet to be read, but had to be set aside for review books.
Currently, I am reading The Feather on the Water by Lindsay Ashford, on my Kindle.
For three women in postwar Germany, 1945 is a time of hope--lost and found--in this powerful novel by the bestselling author of The Woman on the Orient Express.Just weeks after World War II ends, three women from different corners of the world arrive in Germany to run a displaced-persons camp. They long to help rebuild shattered lives--including their own...For Martha, going to Germany provides an opportunity to escape Brooklyn and a violent marriage. Arriving from England is orphaned Kitty. She hopes working at the camp will bring her closer to her parents, last seen before the war began. For Delphine, Paris has been a city of ghosts after her husband and son died in Dachau. Working at the camp is her chance to find meaning again by helping other victims of Hitler's regime.Charged with the care of more than two thousand camp residents, Martha, Delphine, and Kitty draw on each other's strength to endure and to give hope when all seems lost. Among these strangers and survivors, they might find the love and closure they need to heal their hearts and leave their troubled pasts behind.
Obviously, I can't tell you much about it, since I'm still reading it, but what I've read so far, I am really enjoying. I'm only 13% into the book, so that should tell you that I've just started reading it.
I do think it is a story that I will very much enjoy.
If any of you have read it, let me know down below.
I have never read this, but I am attempting to read much more these days.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read this book, but from what you've written, I'd love to read it. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI don't know why, but I'm drawn to concentration camp books.
I loved Header Morris' books (The Tattooist of Auschwitz, Three Sisters and The Cilkai Journey) and now I'm reading Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl.
