Began with THE SEVEN SISTERS - LUCINDA RILEY - and now working through the subsequent 'Sister' books.

Lucinda Riley is a new author for me and the way in which she weaves fiction around historical fact is fascinating.
A brilliant read for anyone interested in family history.

I'm revisiting George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty Four.

I first read it when I was a teenager and it is one I love to read again once in a while.

Before my Kindle died on me last night as I'd forgotten to charge it up, I'd started reading 'The Tattooist of Auschwitz'

"In April 1942, Lale Sokolov, a Slovakian Jew, is forcibly transported to the concentration camps at Auschwitz-Birkenau.
When his captors discover that he speaks several languages, he is put to work as a Tätowierer (the German word for tattooist),
tasked with permanently marking his fellow prisoners..."

This is a novel based on true facts - author's note: "In 2003, I was introduced to an elderly gentleman "who might just have a story worth telling". The day I met Lale Sokolov changed my life, as our friendship grew and he embarked on a journey of self scrutiny, entrusting the inner most details of his life during the Holocaust."
