Do Tell
Do Tell: A Novel
by Lindsay Lynch
"Do Tell" by Lindsay Lynch (7/12/2023)
Am sorry to say this is a very boring book. Does not refer to any of the goings on during the golden years of Hollywood. None of the hijinks of the stars, male or female of that time. Rather sedate gossip is the content of this novel. No reference of the really talented …more
Iron Curtain
Iron Curtain: A Love Story
by Vesna Goldsworthy
The Pride and Strength of a Young Woman. (1/23/2023)
This is a spine chilling tome. Not so much the description of the Communist Regime. Their snooping into private lives, their control of everyone and the soul destroying of citizens who do not walk the line. The lack of any kind of freedom for any citizens. The lack of goods …more
I Want You to Know We're Still Here
I Want You to Know We're Still Here: A Post-Holocaust Memoir
by Esther Safran Foer
I Want Youto Know We're Still Here (11/15/2019)
This tome by Esther Safran Foer is very detailed about her extended family just about all of whom were destroyed in the Holocaust, killed in mass graves but their love for their beliefs not destroyed. Her unrelenting search for survivors of her large family, her poignant …more
At the Wolf's Table
At the Wolf's Table
by Rosella Postorino
Does not hold one's intrest (10/30/2018)
The world has an immense amount of literature, fiction and nonfiction, about the Hitler era. This tome "At the Wolf's Table" by Rosella Postorino does not tell us anything new, for one; also it moves very slowly. Being the official food taster of Hitler is not a life …more
Frank & Ava
Frank & Ava: In Love and War
by John Brady
Magnificent Ol'Blue Eyes (8/7/2015)
Those of us of a certain age who have been fortunate enough to hear and see Frank Sinatra perform in person, either in a grand concert or Vegas will appreciate this book by John Brady as we have seen, in person, all of Frank's antics and outbursts. We have listened to his …more
The Same Sky
The Same Sky
by Amanda Eyre Ward
A Bird's Eye Look Inside A Child's Life (11/15/2014)
For the first fifty pages or so of "The Same Sky' by Amanda Eyre Ward I was struck by how similar to the daily stories of separated families, possible death in crossing the border into the USA and all the heart-wrenching news reports we read every day. Seemed to me the book …more
Glitter and Glue
Glitter and Glue: A Memoir
by Kelly Corrigan
Stating the obvious (1/16/2014)
I did not fall in love with Kelly Corrigan's memoir. Her intense and clearly meant to be amusing criticisms of her mother and her parenting skills are unfair and show Kelly's immaturity. leaving the country to backpack overseas to experience "life" is irresponsible as her …more
Jacob's Oath
Jacob's Oath
by Martin Fletcher
The Indistructable Spirit of the Human (10/10/2013)
The human spirit is indestructable. This has been shown in our human history over and over again. It is also so in Martin Fletcher's novel. This is a diary of various moments in the lives of Jacob and Sarah during WW II and its aftermath. Having lost everything, family, …more
The Plum Tree
The Plum Tree
by Ellen Marie Wiseman
mesmerizing (1/22/2013)
Ellen Marie Wiseman knows how to tell a story.
She also has a wealth of inner feelings to draw on which makes her story very alive. Have not read anything that even comes close to describing the emotion, the smells, the despair and unbelievable suffering of the characters in …more
