Book Review:

Germany’s greatest 20th century writer, Thomas Mann, is the subject of Colm Tóibín’s novel.
Gay, artistic Thomas Mann is born into a prosperous mercantile family in Lübeck, a provincial German port on the Baltic Sea. In Thomas’s surroundings, money is as self-evident and essential as water and sunshine. When, a few decades later, the post-war inflation evaporates the family fortune, his mother does what other self- respecting women of her class would do – take to bed and starve herself to death – because she simply doesn’t know how to live otherwise.

And now you can hear the amazing story.

Book Review:

Henry Gaunt, half German, is busy fighting his own private battle–an all- consuming infatuation with his best friend, Sidney Ellwood–without a clue that Ellwood is pining for him in return. When Gaunt’s family asks him to enlist to forestall the anti-German sentiment they face,

Gaunt does so immediately, relieved to escape his overwhelming feelings for Ellwood. To Gaunt’s horror, Ellwood rushes to join him at the front, and the rest of their classmates soon follow. Now death surrounds them in all its grim reality, often inches away, and no one knows who will be next.

Book Review:

It’s a quiet winter day in the shop when Wendell first sees Frank, a young World War II vet returned to their Southern town. The wary love that develops between them is forbidden in this time and place, but by cutting ties with the outside world, they make a

home for themselves on the far edge of town. Wendell cooks, Frank tends the garden and tries to keep the dog from digging it up. But when old age sets in and Frank’s strength and memory start to deteriorate, the two of them must confront the sacrifices they’ve made—the lives they never had and the one they’ll fight to keep.
