My Reviews
We thought this was a perfect book to start our book club. It is a story of the bond between women, how that bond is challenged through life, and how women have faced the same challenges throughout history.
For me, this book started off slow, but evolved into a complex story of relationships. The story involved the interaction between the rich and those that serve, the White Man and the Apache, the Apaches and the Mexicans, the men and the women within the Apaches and man and nature. The author does a lovely job placing you in a believable situation and making you care about each and every character. A good story and good fodder for discussion.
The author leaves her husband and embarks on a spiritual journey across the globe to save her soul.
I love the way Jodi Picoult writes and the basics of the story were very interesting and educational, but I found the story a bit slow and contrived at times.
Jean Sasson tells the true story of Joanna al-Askari's life with such passion that you forget that it isn't Joanna's life she is writing about. It is a chilling yet engripping account of what is going on in our world today.
This was a fabulous book on the Holocaust and its after math told from the Israeli, Palestinian, and German perspective. You can get a real feel for their points of view and how the events out of their control shaped and affected their lives. It also gave me a history lesson on a personal level as opposed to a strictly factual level.
this was an entertaining story, although heart-wrenching at first. It gives a fairly realistic rendering of a group of women, delving into each's history and how they are interconnected.
