I enjoyed this story about a german woman immigrant to the US. I was saddened and shocked to find how immigrants were treated in Ellis Island! I have family who came to Ellis island. The fact that this Eugenics program existed is very disturbing to me. I found that I learned a lot from this work of historical fiction. I enjoyed Lena and Ella’s story and that of the people who lived by Blue ridge in Va. It is shocking how they threw them off their land. I recommend this book. Irlt is very informative.

Still Life

book cover


Still Life by Louise Penny Really appreciated this sophisticated Mystery. Well written, well thought out, exciting, and engrossing. A different type of Mystery then many of the popular fiction I have read. Intricate plot planning, good character development, multi-dimensional characters, and a good mystery as well. I was very involved in trying to solve it. Also loved Armand Gamache, an introspective, honorable, diligent detective, interested in the people as well as the crime. I delighted in his manner of investigation, his desire to listen, to learn, to admit when he is stuck. Jane is dead, and many are suspected. As it is with small towns, everyone knows everyone and there are secretes, but there is also a marvelous feeling of community. The town itself becomes a character. A “Who done it”, of the highest caliber.
