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 August 2012.
Elwell Hunt, Angela "The Tale of Three Trees" - 1989
This has been one of the best books for children about religion that I have ever seen.
Gao, Xingjian "Soul Mountain" (Chinese: 灵山, língshān) - 1989
An extraordinary book. A biography, a search for someone's soul in a world where the individual means nothing.
Grisham, John "Skipping Christmas: A Novel" - 2001
Not a thriller. It is a comedy, and quite a hilarious one.
Reaching from the fifth into the 16th century, this novel introduces us to the Ireland of the druids and the ancient Celts until the beginning of the Tudor reign.
Shute, Nevil "A Town Like Alice" (US Title: The Legacy) - 1950
A young English woman works in Malaya (now Malaysia) during World War II and becomes a prisoner of war of the Japanese.

Oh, I LOVED 'A Town Like Alice'. *Brilliant* book!
