This week I read a lot of books. One was The Silent Girl. One was Son of Hamas, and one was Heart of the Country. The Silent Girl was a thriller about two detectives finding out who killed this woman. It takes place in Chinatown in Boston. The two detectives are Rizzoli and Isles from the t.v. show. It is a pretty good story with a few twists at the end. The present day murder connects to one from the past and so there is that dimension.
Son of Hamas was a Biography of Mosab Hassan Yousef, a Palestinian who became a Christian. He writes this book with an American and tells about Islam and the Jihad and his changing beliefs. This was gripping because it was about real people and a true story of a man who changed his mind about the way life should be. Some of his experiences were awful. Some were joyful. It helped me to understand events in the middle east a bit more and be thankful that I live in America.
And finally Heart of the Country was an easy read if for no other reason than it was written in Large print! This romance contains two prodigal son stories and is about two sisters and two brothers who chose two very different paths.
Today I will go to the library and get something new, if the roads get cleared and if I can get out my driveway without shoveling!
