Farthest Field by Raghu Karnad6/28/2023 ![]() Ganny, a doctor who joined the Indian medical service, had a tragically short war: He died at 26, of asthmatic bronchitis.

His new book, Farthest Field: An Indian Story of the Second World War, begins with three sepia-toned photos in silver frames in his grandmother's house. Raghu Karnad, an award-winning Indian journalist, uncovers a piece of this story through the history he discovered in his own family. We often hear the story of the Second World War through the experiences of American and British soldiers pitted in battle against Germany and Japan.īut the largest volunteer force in the world then was the Indian Army: More than 2 million Indian men fought for Britain, even as Indian citizens struggled to be free of the British Empire.

The Red Khémèresh by Mab Morris6/27/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() (The book is at my own home I’m still living in my mother’s home to care for her. Even myself, whose parents were from South Africa!īesides my art books, and the literature ones, it is one of my treasured books on my shelves. He was absolutely correct in assuming his students had never really learned or explored beyond the history of Europe. He hammered home his disgust of more conventional approaches by having us read A History of Africa. I had only one professor throughout my upbringing to adulthood who took an unexpected-and quite welcome-approach to his World History class. Being a child of immigrants, having lived in other countries when my father was on sabbatical, I did have experience that opened my eyes to the blinders in that limited education. Most history and geography classes also focused on Europe throughout my schooling. Most of the fantasy fiction I’d read at that point seemed rooted in that mythology, culture, and landscape. I couldn’t but bring in ideas of Europe to the original book. Quite honestly the writing process for Ihyel is far more like I’m a tourist, bringing in my assumptions and discovering I’ve got it wrong as I explore a new country. ![]() I could have titled this post as “A bit like excavating,” but it’s not quite that. It is dim, because I work at 4am, before my mother wakes. My Moleskin journal opened to some notes about Ghost Bones, with the original book focused notebook for The Bone Reader. ![]()

![]() ![]() This will encourage the child who feels like a failure and the teacher who cares. Trisha isn't idealized: we see her messy and desperate, poring over her books. ![]() ![]() As always she tells the story with intense emotion: no understatement here reading is "torture." The big line-and-watercolor illustrations are bright with color and theatrical gesture, expressing the child's happiness with her grandparents in a family of readers, her fear and loneliness in the classroom ("she hated hated hated school"), her anguish when the kids jeer at her in the schoolyard, and her joy when finally she reads the words on the page ("she was happy, so very happy").

"That little girl was me," Polacco says in a final note. Falker Overjoyed at the thought of starting school and learning to read, Trisha is dismayed when all the letters and numbers in her books. Who would believe that this gifted storyteller had started off with a serious learning disability? From kindergarten on, Trisha gets attention because she can draw but she hides the fact that she can't read-all she sees on the page are "wiggling shapes" -until her fifth-grade teacher discovers Trisha's problem, gets her special help, and sets her free.
