Product Information

There were parts where I almost cheered and one of the main character's deaths (towards the end of the book, you'll probably know which when you get to it) had me in floods of tears. And whereas Elton shows how the unique situation post-WWI Germany was in allowed Hitler and his ilk to 'take' the minds and hearts of the populace he also shows how easily it could happen in any country you care to name, which is a very sobering lesson. The inspiring true story of a transgender girl, her identical twin brother, and an ordinary American family’s extraordinary journey to understand, nurture, and celebrate the uniqueness in us all, from the Pulitzer Prize–winning science reporter for The Washington Post.” The Brontës: Wild Genius on the Moors: The Story of a Literary Family by Juliet Barker

A story told by the wife and four daughters of Nathan Price, a fierce, evangelical Baptist who takes his family and mission to the Belgian Congo in 1959. What follows is a suspenseful epic of one family’s tragic undoing and remarkable reconstruction over the course of three decades in postcolonial Africa.” Prince of Tides by Pat Conroy However, I didn't feel the language used represented the time period but I'm not sure if Elton did this deliberately as he does tend to not follow the rules generally. I also felt it was a bit of a fluffy war read, if you want to read about WW2 without actually getting your hands dirty or your heart broken this is the book for you. The boys, destined to become twins via a secret adoption of one of the boys at birth, grow from children to adult soldiers, born to Wolfgang, a musician in the heady Berlin nightclub scene, and Freida , a doctor - a Jewish family living a simple life. The story of the Makioka sisters forms what is arguably the greatest Japanese novel of the twentieth century, a poignant yet unsparing portrait of a family—and an entire society—sliding into the abyss of modernity.” The Memory Keeper’s Daughter by Kim Edwards There’s Momma, Dad, little sister Joetta, and brother Byron, who’s thirteen and an ‘official juvenile delinquent.’ When Momma and Dad decide it’s time for a visit to Grandma, the Watsons set out on a trip like no other.

To ten-year-old Jamie, his family has fallen apart because of the loss of someone he barely remembers: his sister Rose, who died five years ago in a terrorist bombing. Told with warmth and humor, this powerful novel is a sophisticated take on one family’s struggle to make sense of the loss that’s torn them apart…and their discovery of what it means to stay together.” The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton The set-up is straight out of a Jeffrey Archer novel. Two boys grow up in a Jewish family believing they are twin brothers, and vie for the affections of a rich girl. Except, thanks to a baby swap, they're not actually siblings at all. One is a Jew and one gentile… and it's 1920s Germany. The appalling road to the Holocaust has begun – and just in case we don't get the significance, Otto and Paulus Stengel are born on the very same day Hitler's National Socialist German Workers' party is formed in a Munich beerhouse. Nine-year-old Beezus Quimby has her hands full with her little sister, Ramona. Old enough to be expected to take responsibility for her little sister, yet young enough to be mortified by every embarrassing plight the precocious preschooler gets them into, Beezus is constantly struggling with her mixed-up feelings about the exasperating Ramona.” The BoxCar Children by Gertrude Chandler Warner

Two Brothers is both the story of the most famous football players of their generation and an account of late-twentieth-century English football: the tensions between flair and industry, between individuality and the collective, between right and left, between middle- and working-classes, between exile and home. Linno and Anju are sisters who both “dream of coming to the United States, but it is Anju who wins a scholarship to a prestigious school in New York. She seizes it, even though it means lying and betraying her sister.” Atonement By Ian McEwan The Lion King: Circle of Life • The Morning Report • I Just Can't Wait to Be King • Be Prepared • Hakuna Matata • Can You Feel the Love Tonight • Hawaiian War Chant Feb-1920 and two boys are born in Berlin. On this same day the ‘DAP changed its name to the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei ("National Socialist German Workers' Party", or Nazi Party)’. The Stengel’s are Jewish. Tough times are ahead methinks. What I will not do is to go into any details as it could spoil the twists that arise and there are a few of those. Longer review to come -- I just didn't want to ruin it for my book club people by pointing out all its faults.
