Les Parisiennes: How the Women of Paris Lived, Loved, and Died Under Nazi Occupation
by Anne Sebba
A look at survival of Paris women WWII (7/8/2016)
I found the book to be easy to read and follow the true stories of the women that lived and died during the occupation. The women did what they needed to do to care and feed themselves and loved ones. Some sided with the Germans and paid the price after the war but they survived a terrible time.
A look into the past that makes one think: What would I do ?

Historical Victorian Novel (5/14/2016)
A great summer read. I liked the blend of romance and mystery set in the Victorian era. Great banter back and forth between the main characters Calista and Trent.
If I Forget You
by Thomas Christopher Greene
A sweet love story (4/9/2016)
The story line is familiar but nicely written. There are flash backs for the two main characters of what was, what happened and missed opportunities.
The Devil in Jerusalem
by Naomi Ragen
Devil In Jerusalem (7/1/2015)
The topic is very disturbing. The author tells of a family very involved with their Jewish religion that becomes a cult due to the leader's psychopathic behavior. What is done to the children is horrific. The parents suffer as well due to being caught up in the cult. Based upon historical fact, I found the book to be informative. A page turner.
The Book of Speculation
by Erika Swyler
Book of Speculation (4/8/2015)
I liked the story that connected current and past families and how they were connected in the early deaths of women. The chapters are either current or in the past. I also liked the history of early traveling side shows.
Letters to the Lost
by Iona Grey
Letters to The Lost (3/7/2015)
Two beautiful love stories. Both take place in London, one during WWII the other 2011. I could not put this book down until all the loose ends were tied up. A good historical fiction read. This would be good for Books Clubs. I shall recommend it to my club.
