What a lazy summer I am having - playing too much Scrabulous on
Facebook. But I also want to do some catching up on reading. To get
the endless stacks down to something I can manage. I have also decided
to give away books to the library. There are just too many here for the
shelves.
At any rate, I just read Dear Papa and I
enjoyed it. It is a sweet account of the home life of a young girl
during World War II. The war is there, but it is the home life that is
the main focus. This is a gentler introduction to it than most of the
Holocaust literature, so it would be more appropriate for the younger
set. The writing is believable and is enjoyable enough to pull you
along. Nothing terribly exciting, but that's OK with me sometimes. I
get a bit tired of books that have to have something dire happen or they
aren't considered to be relevant or worthwhile. This was just plain,
normal growing up during the war.
