The Element Of Water

THE ELEMENT OF WATER by Stevie Davies   Nominations: Booker Longlist 2001, Women's Prize Longlist 2002   Date Read: July 14, 2021   I have read so many novels that explore the misery of WWII, novels that explore the lead-up to the war and the devastation of turning your loved ones over to an uncertain future. But how does a country and its people recover from a war that laid bare all the atrocity that humanity is capable of. No one is immune and everyone is suspect.   The Element Of Water was an incredible look into the blame and suspicion that follow the German people, everyone giving the side-eye to see who has blood on their hands, who still holds anti-Semitic beliefs and who might still harbor Nazi sympathy. Add in the English Allied Forces still occupying Germany and the resentment that comes with it and you have a tumultuous recovery from the unimaginable.   Davies takes us to 13 years after the Germans have surrendered to a small English school in Germany...

The Changeling

THE CHANGELING by Victor LaValle   Nominations: Dublin Longlist 2019, LA Times Finalist 2017, PEN/Jean Stein Finalist 2018   Date Read: July 21, 2024   From Kirkus Reviews: “A  tragedy thrusts a mourning father into peculiar, otherworldly corners of New York City. When Apollo and Emma have their baby, Brian, it feels like both reward and challenge for the new dad. Apollo, the son of a single mother, had been scraping by as a bookseller who hunts estate and garage sales for rare first editions, so even the unusual circumstance of Brian's birth (in a stalled subway train) seems like a blessing, as does the way Apollo stumbles across a first edition of  To Kill a Mockingbird  (inscribed by Harper Lee to Truman Capote, no less) shortly after. But after some young-parent squabbles and inexplicable images on their smartphones foreshadow trouble, the story turns nightmarish: Apollo finds himself tied up and beaten by Emma, then forced to listen to the sounds of Br...
