52 Books in a Year – Week seven – When the Elephants Dance
Our book club pick for June, by far one of the most tragic and brilliantly written books I have read in a long time. After reading the first 15 pages, I honestly didn’t know how I was going to finish the book, the outlook seemed to grim and so bleak. However, the combination of the families story living in a cellar combined with the story each character shared about their past was beautifully done. Not only do you get a full novel, you get short glimpses into the lives of each of the characters, causing great attachment. This book also made me once again realize how little I know about history and the wars the United States was involved in. This book has encouraged me to read more books about this conflict.
