Well done for sticking with it -- and thanks for sharing it.

Maybe not for me, but certainly sounds as though it was an interesting book and certainly in these times the truth must be paramount.

I would actually read this based on your review, and I'm glad you shared it with us Elizabeth. It's in the Audible 2 for 1 sale this month, so I marked it and might pick it up. Hope it's been a good Wednesday. hugs-ErikaMy name is Erika.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04834435573574156495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-25665176544137033052021-05-12T10:23:17.689-05:002021-05-12T10:23:17.689-05:00It sounds like a very insightful read.
