I just wondered if anyone, apart from myself, has ever read the same book more than once? |

Have just read Carve Her Name With Pride by R J Minney. It's the life story of Violette Szabo. I knew a little bit about her bravery in WW11 but wanted to know a bit more about her. There's no doubt that she was extremely courageous and it was tragic that she was killed at such a very young age, leaving behind a four year old daughter whose father had already died in the war. I expected to be reaching for the tissues but I didn't feel any emotional involvement with the book. I think it was written in the early 50s. It's very factual though the author is clearly besotted with Violette and so she seems almost too perfect a heroine. Having said that, her life story is amazing and I'd like to read a biography by a different author. |

I have just finished an excellent book on kindle by Diane Chamberlain called necessary lies. Based in N Carolina USA it is about a welfare social worker who is horrified that she is expected to put her clients, poor whites and blacks, forward for the Eugenics programme. This meant getting them, mostly young girls and boys sterilized so they would not have more children. The story is how she rebells against the system. |

Like Det. I'm still reading plenty but mostly it's been pretty rubbishy and nothing I would really want to recommend. There are a couple of Kindle books I'd like to download but they are still a bit on the pricey side for me. I think I'll have to get back to using the library more. |

Stil reading, Ann. However as most of them were 'rubbish' freebies I'd be embarrassed to suggest them :-D |
