The Last Flight of Poxl West

The Last Flight of Poxl West: A Novel | Daniel Torday

#TuneIntoNovember I remembered this book I read about a Jewish-Czech refugee who becomes an RAF bomber pilot during WWII. It's a novel within a novel, we have Poxl (the pilot) writing his "memoir" and Eli, a young boy who is smitten with war hero,Poxl. It's a creative story with a surprising twist but for me this novel did not soar ✈️#LearnToFly

Holy shit, the plot twist at the 4/5 point is off the hook! Never saw it coming but I have a theory where it's going. ETA: my theory was wrong.

Poxl in London during the Blitz reminds me of my grandfather's stories about his own experiences as a Navy medic on shore leave there. ❤️

"The dream is for readers to they see the world a little more clearly, in a little more detail, and a little more generously, after closing every novel they read. So if they read me, I‘m just happy to know that‘s what they‘re doing when they do it." #JewLit
