I think if I were reading, though, I might rush through.

I love it when books inspire one to read other books or types of writing (a testimony to the sisterhood / brotherhood of writers).

Like you, I listened to Rose Under Fire, but I do want to go back and read the print version--just for the poetry. And by coincidence, I read just this week yet another book by Elizabeth Wein--the prequel to Code Name Verity, The Pearl Thief. I enjoyed it as much as the other two.

When I've read of others' capture, often they tell of reciting poetry, a balm for them in the face of horror. Thanks!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.com
