Another in a long line of holocaust-related books I have read, this one tells the story of about 250 female French resisters from what they did as Germany invaded and occupied through their ordeal at Auschwitz and other camps and ending with the after-war lives of the few survivors. This is a war that scarred not only everyone alive at the time, but their children and children's children for generations to come... Knowing what happened and how is our only shield and weapon to keep it from happening again.
I also finished the small last section of Lost Scriptures. This last section was a compilation of extant treatises on which books should be included in the current New Testament. The earliest of these were willing to include several more books that finally made it. Luckily these books were in this book, so I knew what they were and am inclined to agree that they were certainly worthy of inclusion, especially Shepherd and the Gospel(s) of Peter.
I have now started Night Diver by Elizabeth Lowell, a light romance and a welcome relief from the heavy reading of the last two books. This promises to have some action and maybe a bit of thriller in it as well as they are on an extended dive with a storm approaching... Sounds to me like excitement may accrue...
