3.5* If you’ve ever wanted to understand what the term “unreliable narrator” means, the story of Maya Abramovna Klotsvog, who lives in the USSR after WWII, by Margarita Khemlin is an excellent example. Told like a memoir, this novel translated by Lisa C. Hayden, seems simple but is very different. See what I thought about it in my #bookreview here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2019/08/23/but-that-is-not-my-point/

This was a nice coming of age story set in post WWII America. It dealt with gender stereotypes but in a very positive manner. I would say I find it hard to believe that there was no homophobia at the time period( I know there was) but the author chose to focus on the girls. I also think pre 1960's being gay wasn't shamed or hated as much. It was really quick read with agood messege about being true to yourself.

This graphic novel covers the life of Hedy Lamarr, from beginning to end. Lamarr was an interesting, and very complex woman. I'm glad she's now remembered for the fact she invented the technology behind WiFi, rather than her scandalous life. It was also interesting to find out that the US gov rejected her invention during WWII. It did make me laugh, because now WiFi is legitimately everywhere.
The art was also pretty cool, so that made it enjoyable as well.

This is a historical fiction mystery novel that takes place in England during the era of the Great War (WWII). As some of my readers know, I’ve been looking for good mystery books that will compare to those of the late, great Agatha Christie. Find out if “Murder in Belgravia,” Lynn Brittany’s first book in the Mayfair 100 Mystery Novels succeeded in filling the void that Christie left in my review here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2018/03/24/these-books-may-fare-well/

A weepy number to end the weekend
This tale of love and loss takes us to the beautiful Island of Guernsey, where pig farmer Dawsey has been corresponding with Juliet. Juliet travels from London to meet the society that banned together over roast meat and literary greats, to fill the loneliness of the Nazi occupation of Guernsey in WWII. Juliet visits wanting to share their story, and instead shares their hearts and lives. A touching story of pain and healing.

🎻 “When war begins, a violinist must face his past—and save the son he left behind.”

In A Virtuoso in America: Adrian (A Holocaust Story #2) by Fred Raymond Goldman, music becomes both a refuge and a reminder of everything lost. A haunting, powerful story of love, survival, and the bonds that even war cannot break. 💔
