Fiction

This past week I read Suite Francaise by Irene Nemirovsky. Suite Francaise was about the Nazi occupation of France and the adjustments people made to accommodate the invaders. Irene was arrested by the Nazis and sent to a death camp in 1942 where she lost her life shortly afterward. I wonder about Irene. Did she believe we would eventually overcome the Nazi scourge? Did she hear the allied bombers overhead and take satisfaction in knowing we were fighting back? I guess we will never know.

After Suite Francaise I started Savage Run by C.J. Box. This is the second in the series. Once again I find that I have already read Savage Run. I seriously doubt that I read the third book but I hope to find out. Anyway, I will continue to re-read Savage Run as it is really an exciting fun read.

Mrs. Enthusiast read Black Widow by Randy Wayne White. She said this is action packed from beginning to end. She really enjoyed Black Widow. After Black Widow she read River Thieves by Michael Crummey. River Thieves will be with her for a while. She has yet to decide on a new book.
