I picked up Middlesex after Joe mentioned it- it sounds wonderful, but haven't started it, yet. I also read Crazy in Alabama after he recommended it and thoroughly enjoyed it.mindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15981340071876565395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710479.post-19386000244598782642007-06-06T18:10:00.000-04:002007-06-06T18:10:00.000-04:00The Welsh Girl, by Peter Ho Davies.

And it sort of fits with your book report - it's about a German POW and a (surprise) Welsh girl during WWII, and deals very insightfully with issues of identity.Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03461107538405120653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710479.post-16228742232196416832007-06-06T17:52:00.000-04:002007-06-06T17:52:00.000-04:00Long Way Gone, memoirs of a boy soldier and Disgra...Long Way Gone, memoirs of a boy soldier and Disgrace by JM Coetzee.

It was more of a meditation on love, relationships and beauty. I can't recommend it highly enough.Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01302290381712739479noreply@blogger.com
