Ok, I love all Nielsen books, but I reread this one because this is the book that got me into historical fiction so many years ago. It has that thrill towards the end, but the familial longing is what really gets to me, as Gerta is separated from her family.

I love the novel, Towers falling, because it shows a real life tragedy in the perspective of a person who didn't face it directly, but had a relative who had their lives impacted by it.
Reviewed by Anonymous The Maps of Memory was a very curious sort of book. The main character was always wondering about a certain ship, and as the memories were unveiled to her, she began to see the truth in her family and loved ones. The book was intriguing because of this, finding out the history of the ship made it hard to put the book down! The setting of the place was also beautiful, similar to Venice, Italy, buildings were built on large stakes right above the water. I loved how the main characters made an effort to help heal their loved ones and children who did not have parents as well! I recommend reading this book to find a sense of healing and happiness for whatever we have in life.
Reviewed by: SS The Book Thief, in my opinion, is an amazing book. I loved how it was from the perspective of a "girl behind the scenes" of a war, instead of being the victim of the war. The difference perspectives of how everyone viewed Jews brought a sort if realism into the book and also made it intriguing to continue reading to see how it ends.
