Amazing, thank you, it’s such a joy to find a reader who understands the importance of a review and as a writer your words carry much weight. Thank you!
I enjoyed reading this book and look forward to more in the series.
I’m with you on both those IWSG reads–Takei’s book was far from the first I’ve read on the internment camps, but it was very well done, and deserves a second look, I suspect. I’m still working on Gail Levine’s book, but want to try more of the exercises. Just as soon as I finish drafting this current mess, er, novel.
Yes, I;m still processing my thoughts on Takei’s book. It was clearly good, but it’s difficult for me to express what I experienced while reading it. I too look forward to trying Levine’s exercises.
