Walt Whitman, quoted on one of the front pages of Unbroken said, "What stays with you latest and deepest? of curious panics, Of hard-fought engagements or sieges tremendous what deepest remains?"
What does stay with us? What do we want to remember? What do we want to push from our memories? These were just a few of the thoughts discussed when reflecting on Unbroken. Many of us shared what we had been told of war by family members or friends. What lessons do we need to remember from WWII?
Coincidentally our local news recently featured a segment on WWII Veterans visiting the WWII Memorial in Washington D.C. (Thanks for sharing Ranae!)
Next we are reading The Invisible Bridge by Julie Orringer.
Read On!
I really do enjoy our reading group/book club. Everyone's shared thoughts about the book allow me to revisit my own thoughts and make the book more endearing. Unbroken had me broken many times. What an amazing man and story! It was an excellent choice, and I highly recommend it to others.
