In the dark, I see the flash of a tail, a woman swimming into the depths, and I follow her down.
And I listen to the sound of singing. Everything, everywhere.

pickI return to WWII historical fiction because of those times I learn a perspective I never considered. I‘ve never read anything about Malaya/Malaysia (even googled the location), it being a British colony, or its Japanese occupation. The fictional story set in this timeframe was good, too. I didn‘t consider liking/disliking Cecily as I was simply interested in her story.
pickBook 3. Nina has been betrayed by the boy she loved, and arrested by the Population Police for exposing other alleged third children. She‘s innocent but also has to pretend to not be a 3rd child, while trying to save other 3rd kids. Trust no one 😳

pickThis one was really good (I liked it even better than Heard It In A Love Song by the same author).
I picked this one up because my family enjoys geocaching together so I thought it was a fun premise but the positive spin on taking care of your own mental health will be what makes this book stand above the rest. Extremely well done!
pickIn this novel betrayal is the main source of conflict between the characters.Baruch Kotler,a married Israeli-Russian politician,opposes withdrawal of Israeli settlements from the West Bank&because he refuses to back down from this political stance photos of him&his young mistress Leora are leaked to the press.The novel starts with the couple‘s arrival in Yalta where they want to hide from the press.They happen to rent a room in a B&B👇
pickThis is a pick because the writing was good, and I wanted to see how everything would tie together. I also appreciated learning about an area I do not know a lot about. I did feel like the ending was rushed. The whole book was a slow build, which I enjoyed, and then the end just went pretty rapidly for me.
“For you, a thousand times over.”
