I’ve enjoyed some great reading over the past few months. Passchendaell, Divine Justice, The Good Old Boys, Night of Flames, Echo Burning and Telegraph Days.

Echo Burning by Lee Child
This is the second time I’ve read this member of the ‘Jack Reacher’ series and I enjoyed it as much this time as the first. For those who are not familiar with Reacher he was an ‘Army brat’ who grew up in US military bases all over the world, graduated from West Point and spent 15 years as an army cop. He retired as a major when the end of the cold war changed ‘his’ army in ways he didn’t like. He now travels with a tooth brush and clothes on his back exploring the country he saw little of in his professional life. Echo Burning has him in South Texas experiencing some violent weather, violent bigotry, intrigue, murder and learning a little about horses and children. Great read.

I enjoy novels that take a different look at what has become the accepted norm. For example, anyone who has read about WW II knows about the Polish being rolled over by the blitzkrieg tactics of the German Army. They would know about the Free Polish who, based in England, served with distinction in ending the occupation of their homeland. But very little is known about what happened to others who remained in Poland or escaped to other neighbouring countries during the next 6 years.
What happens to women married to rich men who mistreat them? Do they put up with it for the monetary freedom or do they simply disappear to another life?
Does anyone give a thought to how the telegraph changed everyone’s life during the mid 1800s? What were the subjects of most messages? Gossip or business?

More about the other three novels in the next post.
