Book Review II

Origins of Solitude By Garth Buckner: This little book is packed full of big issues: the migration of people. Where does solitude originate? How do the people who make a living off the total mistreatment of others sleep at night? While this is not exactly a page turner, it was chalk full of different perspectives of the smuggling of people from Haiti into the Bahamas. Again, not one I would have picked on my own but came way with a better understanding of the illegal immigrants, not only here in the Bahamas but across the world. Oddly enough, this is still going on today. Want to get an insiders view of this region? Then this book is for you.

Case Histories By Kate Atkinson: Couldn't put it down! A series of unfortunate events occurs and one individual is a common thread through them all. Without giving away many details of the book, I found it fresh and riveting. Atkinson has a wonderful way of giving you a snapshot view into her main characters while bringing you through the process of figuring out these mysterious occurrences. 2 thumbs up!
