Reading ahead for character trait of the month COURAGE in November. We seem to love Carmen Agra Deedy's books at my school. Also suitable for talking about #resistance and #nokings

pickI am so glad this book landed on my radar. I learned so much. Very emotional read. The amount of determination and courage to research the Home Army women fascinated me. A hero. @OutsmartYourShelf #Research
pickThree separate timelines and narrators, during Hitler's reign in WW2, 1980s East/West Germany, and 2020 racial tensions in America. All plots dealing with the importance of resisting tyranny and the abuse of power. Bray is a master of weaving this kind of narrative and all three stories are inextricably linked by the end of the story.
If I can finish 5 of my current reads, I'll be happy. #TurnthePage @Bookwormjillk Thanks for doing this.
pickI'm a little late for the #OhCanada discussion, but I didn't want to miss out on this book. It's hard to review a memoir, especially one with this much trauma, but I think Knott faced her trauma head on and framed her story well. I'm interested to see what her newer book is like.
What did you think of Helen Knott as a storyteller? Are there any others areas of her life that you'd enjoy reading about if she were to write another book? Would you like to see her diversify outside of memoirs if she chose too? General thoughts on the author?
Our first memoir for the #OhCanada read and to me this book is such a powerful and impactful read. So many tough topics and to know that this isn't a work of fiction but a memoir. General thoughts on the book and anything you would like to discuss about the book? Did you enjoy it?
pickBook 28 of 2025. This was a story of love and betrayal, not necessarily happy, but so good nonetheless. If you like historical fiction, especially the WWII time period, you will love this book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
