Pradeep Kumar pradeepskumar — This is maybe a 3.5, but I think it would be a solid 4 if I could read Japanese. The novel is a traditional police procedural but with an unusual twist: the murderer and motive are revealed in the first few pages. The rest of the book swings back and forth between the police detective who is trying to solve the crime and the murderers, who do not want to get caught. In between is a quiet math teacher who knows more than he is saying. I liked the story and while I guessed a small part of the ending, it really was a surprise. But I got the sense that the translation did not pick up on the subtleties of language and style; it lacks color and many of the dramatic scenes fall a little flat. I was disappointed to see the second book was translated by the same person.

Tschai Roncesvalles _15058376 — SUMMARY In the mid-1930’s, Billie Jo finds that her life begins to fill with tragedy, and she keeps a free-verse journal, documenting the miserable circumstances facing her family in the face of the Dust Bowl in Oklahoma. When she loses her mother and her baby brother, and her hands are burned badly, she feels she has lost everything, and she’ll never fulfill her dream of becoming a pianist. Everyone else is leaving Oklahoma for the world beyond the dusty prairie, and all Billie Jo has left is her father, a bunch of heartache, and her strong will to survive. When everything is as empty as the prairie, she shows two simple emotions—courage and love—and then the weather changes, bringing back the rains that will heal both that tragic landscape and her heart. USAGE: Read, React, Research, Respond Students will read Out of the Dust and then explore research techniques. First, they will explore the historical references within the text to select reasons that might have illustrated man’s contributions to the Dust Bowl. Then, they will use teacher-selected primary and secondary source materials to research and explore these ideas and events. They will then prepare a brochure that illustrates the causes of the Dust Bowl, the effects of the Dust Bowl, and a timeline of important events of the mid 1930’s. Students will employ poetry, exposition, visual Literacies, non-fiction, and other styles of writing to complete this assignment. They will learn how to provide MLA-Style in-text citations as well as compose a list of references. They will demonstrate paraphrasing, summarizing, quoting, and delivering information in different ways.

Re Moratto trendit — Mesu has written a winner in Love Amid the Ashes! The opening scene pulls you back in time and gives you a story that some people might have never considered – Jacob’s daughter Dinah living with Job during the time of his inflictions. It was a very interesting viewpoint and one that compellingly drew the reader into the story. Dinah was a very strong character. Many people in her day saw her as tainted or a harlot because she laid with Shechem before they were married. Because of this she was shunned, her father didn’t acknowledge her, and no one would marry her. While she did sin, the amount of slander she had to put up with was sad. Often it came from people who had only heard about the events at Shechem—and the stories that were rumored around held many falsehoods. What a weight Dinah had to carry! I loved the way Mesu portrayed this woman. Dinah’s personal story, thrown together with Job’s, was a very neat twist. Job was amazing. This book opens up a new viewpoint that the bible doesn’t give—Jobs thoughts and feelings. The scene when Job gets the news of his wealth destroyed and his children killed is powerful and heart wrenching. Just reading the account in the book of Job is powerful, but to read Job and his wife’s, Sitis’, reaction...wow. Talk about walking into a nightmare! While a lot of Love Amid the Ashes is from the authors imagination, it is still—to some degree—very probable. The conspiracy of Sayyid’s, to destroy Job, was an interesting twist to this book. When one reads the book of Job you wouldn’t think of a conspiracy against him, but Mesu has added intrigue and suspense to this biblical fiction by giving Job an evil nemesis—Sayyid. Some may think this a little “out there”, but I enjoyed the refreshing and interesting plot. Even though I already knew what would happen in the story of Job, the addition of Dinah, Sayyid, and Aban was captivating. For this being her debut novel, I predict wonderful things from future books by Mesu. Her writing style is appealing and refreshing, taking the reader right into the moment. I could almost feel the dust clinging to Dinah’s skin as she journeyed with the caravan and I could picture Job’s tortured, rotting body. When events finally slowed down and the book drew to a close, I was sad to leave Dinah. Love Amid the Ashes explores a story from a viewpoint that most people have not considered, and that alone sets Mesu’s book apart from others. What a wonderful, powerful, convicting story is told within these pages!
