A story that appeals to my heart,
By "mr-moon" (Calgary, Alberta, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Liverpool Basque (Charnwood Library Series) (Hardcover)
If you love stories that are based on humanity and the trials and triumphs of life, but most of all you just love a good read, then don't pass this book up. Helen Forrester is so perceptive to human nature, but her true talent is expressing it through her characters, making them live in your mind. This story is based in Liverpool, but you really become enveloped in the rich Basque culture. What this family experiences through the Great Depression, WW2 and beyond made me appreciate their lives, and my own. Truly, my words can't justify the greatness of this book. I also highly recommend Ms. Forrester's own accounts of her childhood and youth growing up painfully poor in Liverpool - they are truly stunning.
