I just finished reading two very interesting and totally different books. "Getting Lucky at Eighty",by Ms. Mavis Mathews, who at 85 years old published her own auto biography. She tells her story from the time she was a very young girl, until she was eighty years old. The book was meant to be read by her family only, but then she decided to publish it. It was very inspirational.
The second book is called Giorgi's Greek Tragedy. It is a novel about two brothers in the 1800's Greece, a time under the Ottoman occupation. It tells the story of the freedom fighters and their lives of hardship and survival.
Two different time periods and two different and diverse stories, yet they both deal with the human element and our lives of love, hate, survival and forgiveness.
See my reviews on Amazon.com.
