Posted November 26, 2022 (edited) Before I begin, I'd like to say that I haven't abandoned this thread. What happened is that one night I fell down and broke my arm in two places. For some time, I wasn't able to read, not to mention type, due to the pain meds I had it take, but it's healing now and even though I'll be typing one handed for quite a while, I figured it was time to start doing it. Please excuse any errors I make.

The stories revolved around a New York woman who inherited her uncle's Jewish deli in Nashville Tennessee. It has plenty of humor as well as mystery, and some good recipes too. The cover art adds a touch of fun to the stories within. A generous sprinkling of ethnic vocabulary words also added considerable interest to this fine series.

Posted November 30, 2022 Book Number: 17 Number Of Pages: 416 Book Title: The Things We Cannot Say Author: Kelly Rimmer Summary: This story weaves together the narratives of Alina, a young woman struggling to survive the Second World War in Poland, and Alice, who undertakes a journey to uncover the secrets of her dying grandmother's past. Review: Told in two timelines, alternating between a modern-day mother with unique challenges and a young girl who grows to be a woman in Nazi-occupied Poland, this book kept me completely engaged with both women. It is a story of love and loss, of the horrors of war and the unquenchable hope of the human spirit, and the power of love. I could not put this book down! Share this post Link to post
