Hi everyone.
Hopefully the worst of
the weather conditions in your
area have gone.

Time for reading is
probably the last thing on
your mind, if the weather is still
causing headaches with
floods, etc. but I'll continue to
add these posts so that
you can read them
when you want to.

I recently read.....

Street Boys by
Lorenzo Carcaterra

I'm glad I read this book.  

I didn't say enjoyed, because you

might think I meant it 

in a humorous way, but if

you keep reading this

post, you will see what I mean.

Set in Naples during WW2, the 

story line is based around

children orphaned by the war, and

their survival fighting against the 

Germans set on destroying the town

where the children live.

This is part of the

war you don't often consider

when looking at history....

now you see what I mean

about not using the 

word 'enjoyed' like I usually do!

It felt disrespectful to the

content of the story.

If you have tried any other books

I have mentioned in the past, and are

game enough to try another, I

hope you add this one to

your list.

Happy reading,  Jenny
