Lusitania: Triumph, Tragedy, and the End of the Edwardian Age
by Greg King, Penny Wilson
Lusitania: Triumph, Tragedy, and the End of the Edwardian Age (2/5/2015)
Excellent coverage of a true tragedy. Despite the warning printed in the newspapers, most people still sailed thinking they would be protected by their captain and their government and instead were betrayed by both.
I especially appreciated the listing of all passengers included in the beginning of the book. It made it much easier to follow their stories throughout the book.
The authors gave us the human side of the tragedy.
The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair: A Novel
by Joel Dicker
The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair (7/10/2014)
This is the first time I can remember actually putting down a book so I didn't finish it. I wanted to make it last as long as possible.
I have not been this taken with a book in a long time. Well thought out, well written, great story, great twists.
