This is an erotic book, with a complicated setting and well-defined characters, as well as a very well-written, fast-paced first novel. Isabel and Eva are as different in temperament as two people can be. They meet in The Netherlands in 1961. Isabel is cold, alone, disciplined, and sheltered. Eva is open, compulsive, vivacious, carefree, and daring. Louis is one of Isabel’s brothers and Eva is his mistress. He drops her off at their mother’s country home where Isabel lives, and takes off on a business trip. Eva defies every instruction as to what to do and not do as they find themselves living together in Isabel's house. Gradually but relentlessly, there is an explosion of passion which astonishes both women. Just as revelatory is the exploration of the postwar Netherlands and its hidden past.
This timely book is a primer for those who are not antisemitism scholars. It is a book of history which analyzes how antisemitism took hold in ancient times and has not loosened its grip thousands of years later. Read it first, then give it as a gift to someone who needs to read it. Highly recommended.
The Wonder Walkers is poetry, art, and thoughtful musings on the wonders of nature and the planet. Archer is both the writer and wonderful artist who created the exquisite collages you see on every page. Each page is a talking point for art, color, and reflections for young children. This book is a visual pleasure that incorporates teaching and talking tools. To sum it up: each page of this Caldecott Medal-winner is a wonder! This special book was recommended by Sandy's great niece and nephews Lucy (2); Dylan (3), and Wes (1)! Ages 3-7.
