taxman Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Just started Northern Lights by Philip Pulman after a week or so when I just haven't felt like reading anything. Five chapters in and I'm enjoying it but am regretting slightly going to see Golden Compass at the cinema as that has imprinted on my mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeG Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Resistace by Owen Sheers, set in rural Wales in 1944 under Nazi occupation , it tells the story of a group of farmers' wives, whose husbands have mysteriously disappeared one night. As the women come to terms with their husbands' sudden disappearance and take on the farming, a jaded and weary Nazi Captain and a group of German soldiers settle in the area and gradually a relationship starts to form. I'm half way through the book and the writing is superb. It is an interesting premise, would the Brits have surrended/collaborated or fought back if we'd been occupied? I have no idea what other historical facts the author has altered for dramatic licence, so read with great interest. I'm three quarters of the way through and its a great read.
