Sample Saturday is when I wade through the eleventy billion samples I have downloaded on my Kindle. I’m slowly chipping away and deciding whether it’s buy or bye.
Levels of Life by Julian Barnes
Why I have it: Because it includes themes of grief.
Summary: Ballooning, photography, love and grief; a book about putting two things, and two people, together, and about tearing them apart.
I’m thinking: No – first chapter on ballooning didn’t grab me.
Inheritance by Dani Shapiro
Why I have it: a genetics memoir!
Summary: Through a genealogy website to which she had whimsically submitted her DNA for analysis, Dani Shapiro received the stunning news that her father was not her biological father. Her entire history changed in an instant.
I’m thinking: Yes.
Forty Autumns by Nina Willner
Why I have it: Reviewed by JulzReads.
Summary: A former American military intelligence officer goes beyond traditional Cold War espionage tales to tell the true story of her family – of five women separated by the Iron Curtain for more than forty years, and their miraculous reunion after the fall of the Berlin Wall.
I’m thinking: Yes.
