In EPIC: An Around-the-World Journey Through Christian History by Tim Challies Barbara at Stray Thoughts explains, “Each chapter gives a brief background of the person or situation the object represents, then shares what that object tells us about God’s movement through the ages. None of the chapters are very long, and they include a few pictures each. It’s easy to pick up the book here and there and read a chapter or two at a time.”

[WARTIME EXPERIENCES]
“[Agata] Tuszyńska’s Family History of Fear is an elegy for both a family and a nation.”, writes Maphead. This memoir focuses on the experience of the author’s Polish Jewish grandparents during World War II.

[PUBLISHED IN 2021]

Sounds like a great book, especially the one with Polish Grandparents. My friend writes creative writing pieces about her polish grandmother and they are out of the world. She gets people asking her which ones are real because they are so absurd.

I keep forgetting to link up my NF reviews here! Just added one for June – thanks for the reminder 🙂
These all sound good. As an 80’s teen, I do want to read Brat, of course.
I promise to remember to link up next time!
