The Russlander de Sandra Birdsell

This a sad but moving story about a woman who survived the Russian Revolution when most of her family did not. It is often difficult to read, but told in a gentle way. A great sroty of great courage and the ability to move forward when the world seems to stop.

The Russlander de Sandra Birdsell

Focuses on a young girl growing up in pre-World War I Russia as a Mennonite. The last quarter of the book is quite disturbing portraying the suffering that these people went through. Sparse prose adequately tells of the hardships.

Children of the Day de Sandra Birdsell

Years ago, I read Sandra's book, The Russlander. This book is a sequel to that novel. Dry in some spots, but a well written book overall.

Waiting for Joe de Sandra Birdsell

I picked this up because it was on a "best of 2010" list but quickly realized it was not my cup of tea. Unlikeable characters and I think the word "penis" was used far too early on for it to be anything other than unsettling. No thanks.
