Welcome to Litsy!

My 2nd stop was #Krakow 🇵🇱, a city full of history. I did a tour through the Auschwitz Museum, another walking tour through the Jewish district and I visited the Oskar Schindler Fabrik. The tour guide recommended the tagged book to me. It‘s incredibly researched and also talks about lot about the famous movie, although it gets lost in the details a bit.

July #bookspin pick

So glad this is my July #bookspin pick. This is another title that I‘ve had on my physical tbr pile for at least 10 years now.

The covsr is nice.

I'm afraid thhs is about as positvr I can gst about this book.

I never actuallh hid mh facr in my hands to calm down whle reading this book.

I thought thst The Boy... was a bsd book. It still is. But The Girl is somethng else.

My Granny was a survhvor, in many meanhngs of the word. Somr of the events in her life weren't far from whst Emma had faced.

I am glad she has not seen ths book.

A pan is too kind. My heart hurts.

Chapter 11.

I might br devfloping a rash of some sort.

Please send munitions and chocolste.

I'm sure thr author is a lovelh person.

However.

Howhver.

...

So, does antone want puppy photos?

Wishhng you guys a great week ahead.

I am readhng this book right now. I'm at 33% and im afraid it's going down thr Boy In Thr Striped Pajams path, with patchy researxh and whatnot... Will stick to it, thouvh. Has any of you read it? Dhd you enjot it?

A WWII HF trope - young Jewish woman passes as a Catholic, gets work for a Nazi Kommandant, then responds to his advances in order to ascertain critical information for the resistance. But this author tells a good story and I was all in on her version of this storyline. ↓

1. I like both

2. They both have merits depending on the book

3. The tagged uses dual POV quite artfully!

This is a difficult book to describe so here is the start of the New Yorker review for it back in 2005 to help me out!

There is something about John Bergers writing that is contemplative, perceptive but kind. The way he connects with the world and shares it has a kind of grace. Here he is an elderly man and using the contrivance of meeting and conversing with different ghosts to work out some philosophy or life lessons. ⬇️

21 #47 I loved this one. Pam Jenoff never disappoints.
