Talking About O'Dwyer
by C.K. Stead
In his new bachelor flat Mike Newall, Oxford don and Wittgenstein scholar, seeks to rebuild his life but feels weighed down by the past. When Donovan O'Dwyer, a colleague and fellow New Zealander, dies, Newall reveals to his old friend Bertie Winterstoke the secret that O'Dwyer carried with him to his grave. During the battle for Crete in the Second World War, a Maori soldier died under harrowing circumstances. Believing that O'Dwyer, his commanding officer, was responsible for the death, the soldier's family placed a Maori curse on him. Newall's and O'Dwyer's lives are curiously interconnected. Gradually, through a series of entwined, beautifully told stories reflecting on decades of war and peace, on memory and its failures, and on language and its limitations, Newall comes to see a way of laying the ghosts of O'Dwyer's past-and his own-to rest.
The Big Show
by Pierre Closterman
This is absolutely the best fighter pilot memoir of World War II. Pierre Closterman was a Free French fighter ace and his account of the air war over Britain and France has justly become famous. It contains everything one could wish for: wonderfully observed descriptions of wartime Britain, frighteningly evocative stories of in-the-cockpit action, an amazing cast of characters, and all the drama and bravery of a man fighting a desperate war thousands of feet above the ground. An undeniable classic and a true page-turner.
Toward the Sunrise
by Judith Pella
Book 3 of Daughter’s of Fortune. In the summer of 1942, on three different continents, the daughters of newspaper tycoon Keagan Hayes are caught in chaos within and without. Though all have come to a personal faith, they are thrown into physical and emotional trauma that severely tests that faith. In Los Angeles, Jackie’s Japanese-American husband is sent to an internment camp. In the Philippines, Blair is captured by the Japanese and imprisoned. In Russia, Cameron is arrested and forced to leave the country. They each struggle to find strength to endure the hardships inflicted upon them and to maintain their confidence in the God who is writing the pages of their lives.
Silent Star
by Tracie Peterson
In the 1940s, the small Pennsylvania town of Haven is rather subdued with their young men facing battles in far-away Europe. Young Andy Gilbert, burdened with his job of delivering telegrams bringing the news of those missing or killed in action, faces the coming holidays with dread and discouragement. With each new message he must deliver- met by screaming mothers, grief-stricken wives, and weeping families--he longs to join the ranks of the numbered dead. Only one elderly woman recognizes the pain and suffering tormenting Andy--and it is through her wisdom that the stars again can shine for Andy and for a town that desperately needs the hope those stars represent. A touching novella book from a bestselling novelist.
