February finds Page Turners reading The Girl From Berlin by Ronald H. Balson—the fifth installment in his Liam Taggart and Catherine Lockhart series of WWII historical fiction that focuses on the rise of the Nazis. While the book club has not read the four previous novels in the series, I understand the current book can stand alone.
The New York Journal of Books says, “Author Balson delivers a thrilling page-turner, based upon very sound research and powerful, compelling characters. Readers alternate, chapter by chapter, between the present day, when Liam and Catherine are investigating a case and arguing it in Italian court, and the petitioner’s life during the years of the Nazi Holocaust.”
Page Turners book club consists of three groups of approximately ten members each. One group meets on the fourth Monday afternoon of the month, and for information on that group please contact me at fozimec@cox.net. The other two groups meet on the fourth Thursday afternoon of the month, and for information of those two groups please contact Steve and Ann Morris at samwrsi@cox.net.
