28. I finished Where the Light Enters

the second of the Sara Donati Waverly Place books, and I really wanted more! Unfortunately it left me with the feeling that there is more to come, and I read that she's working on another in the series. I hope I live to see it! It was kind of hard to come down to earth and figure out what to read next. I settled on My Mother's Friend by Sally Jameson Bond, an unusual WWII story of an Iowa Lutheran pastor's teenage daughter, musically talented, who through some rather unusual circumstances is asked to become the accompanist for a Mænnerchor made up of German POWs in a prison camp nearby. She becomes friends, and more than friends, with the choir's leader, a young man who later becomes the conductor of a German symphony....but I haven't got to that part yet. It started out rather slow but has picked up. The style is quite different from Donati's and I'm curious as to where it's leading. I know they will be separated and go on to lead separate lives, I think much of his perhaps behind the Iron Curtain. I'm considering reading Augusta Trobaugh's Sophie and the Rising Sun after this for a slightly different perspective. I've read all of her books available on Kindle, I think, except that one, and I loved all of them.
