I've been doing Throwback Thursdays for a while but I noticed that I wrote a lot of reviews in a short time when I first started. One of my blogger friends always posts the reviews of one month but that would be too much. So, these are my reviews from the fifth part of January 2012.
Leslie T. Chang is a Chinese-American journalist who travelled to and lived in China for a couple of years to get to know the country of her ancestors. She interviewed several female migrant workers and portrayed their lives between the old and the new world
Ende, Michael "The Never Ending Story" (GE: Die unendliche Geschichte) - 1979
I think this is the only fantasy story I ever liked. Mind you, I think it is more a fairy tale and those remind me of my childhood.
Frazier, Charles "Nightwoods" - 2011
A young woman has to look after her murdered sister's twins. But - there is so much more to this story, and not just the beautiful description of Charles Frazier's beloved Appalachians.
Kohler, Sheila "Becoming Jane Eyre" - 2009
An interesting novel based on the life of Charlotte Brontë, especially while writing "Jane Eyre". The author transports us back into the time the book was written and shows how it grows with Charlotte Brontë's experiences.
Levi, Primo "If Not Now, When?" (I: Se non ora, quando) - 1982
Based on a true story, about two Russian Jews who join a band of partisans behind enemy lines.
