We held our discussion for this book on April 7th.
I forgot to make a post for this selection. Wow, if I don't do it right away I forget any details of the discussion which is sort of what happened this time.
If any of the members feel inclined to make a mention of this book discussion you are welcome.
I thought the book itself was a worthwhile book and would recommend it to anyone interested in the subject matter of the Holocaust and the stories that came out of that history.
At the time I was reading of Corrie Ten Boom's arrest/capture when she was sick in bed, I also was very sick with a bad cold and could imagine how she felt at that time and how hard and uncomfortable she was. The book was one miracle after another, even the fleas were a miracle by being so infested that the guards avoid coming to their barracks which allowed the scriptures studies possible. The changes in the women living together in close quarters from contentious to kind to one another because of the bible studies.
Being currently in the age range of Corrie, I wondered how she was able to withstand the trauma, torture and hard work required of her in the encampment. A story of sheer will to live and help when the costs were so high.
The next book selection is The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side by Agatha Christie.
