The Servant, written and translated by the author from its first publication in Arabic in 2010, offers an interesting coming-of-age tale of hardship and romance set against the dramatic backdrop of the Lebanese Civil war.  Readers who are able to set aside the stilted prose and third-person narrative will discover a strong protagonist in fifteen-year-old Faten, torn from her school, home, family and friends to become a maid for a wealthy Beirut family.

Faten proves resilient and resourceful.  She continues to study in secret, dreaming of a better future, despite the fact that all of her wages are sent back to her father to support her family, and despite her love interest Marwan’s inability to stand up to his parents to pursue their relationship and his own dreams. 

Sharradine does a fine job of depicting another culture through Faten’s eyes.  History comes to life as Faten pursues her goal to become a nurse against all odds during the war-torn 1980s.  Despite its dark beginning, the novel ends on a happy note.            

Summary: Faten’s life as a servant in Beirut deprives her of friends, family, education, and freedom.  When she falls in love with Marwan, has Faten found a means of escape?

Just before Maggie started her internship at the newspaper, her father’s tragic death has placed a burden on her heart. Then as she begins to go through his papers she discovers that the family she thought she had is not real. Her father lied to her. Now angry and upset at the turn of events Maggie must make sense of her life as it relates to her father. Maggie’s internship at the newspaper is exciting but she feels like there is a dark cloud over her as she ponders her father’s lies about his family. Then by coincidence on one of the assignments with one of the newspapers reporters, Maggie is able to link her father’s death with the incident they are investigating. This turn of events forces Maggie to face the problem of her father’s missing family and sends her on a search for the truth. What she discovers is a tale worth telling.
The beginning chapters are very slow to catch your attention but the side story of the Chinese immigrant paper son in the early part of the century is interesting even if it seems that it is unrelated. It isn’t until much later that
Maggie begins to connect the dots the stories start to interrelate. Then the pieces start to fall in place and the reader is told how the how both stories are connected. Maggie’s family history begins to unfold and we see how the past is connected to the present. The real interesting story is in the past and due to greed, envy, murder and fear we see how two generations was lost without a connection to their family until Maggie discovers the truth and brings them home. The past has the star-crossed lovers and it is only in the recognition of the past that brings healing to all in the present.
Slow to start but picks up speed as you go along. The immigrant part of the story was much more interesting that the present. Diaz, Magna

New York City-born Rico runs off to his friend's farm in Wisconsin and realizes that there's nowhere like home. At 15, Rico is a "dark dude"--an outsider, especially a light-complected guy--who doesn't quite fit in with any group. Fellow Cubans (even his famiy!) and African Americans see him as white and he regularly gets beat up in school. When his friend Jimmy nearly dies from an overdose, they hitchhike to Wisconsin where their friend Gilberto rents a farm and started college. Even in the midwest there are good and bad influences (and lots of weed smoked and grown in the 70's).
Rico regularly reads Huck Finn and imagines all kinds of superhero plots. He's a thoughtful kid who figures out how he and Jimmy will succeed. S.Gooden

When possessions of interned Japanese-American citizens are unearthed from the basement of Seattle's recently renovated Panama Hotel, Henry reminisces about his childhood sweetheart and wonders what happened to her and her family. Just before the Japanese internment during W.W.II, 12 year old Henry befriends Keiko, another scholarship student at his all white private school. Both are ostracized and bullied by other students and work together in the school cafeteria to earn their keep. Henry is first-generation Chinese American; Keiko is of Japanese decent. Henry's father, a fervent Chinese nationalist shuns the Japanese, whose section of the city borders Chinatown. Keiko's family is fond of Henry and is supportive of their friendship. Their world is turned upside down as the Japanese-Americans are sent to internment camps. Forty years later, possessions of the Japanese Americans are unearthed from the basement of Seattle's newly renovated Panama Hotel. A recently widowed Henry reminisces about the times he and Keiko spent together and wonders what happened to Keiko and her family. His college age son tries to assist Henry in is quest to find out. This story, with chapters highlighting both Henry's childhood years in 1942 and his current (1982) life, creates a stunning portrait of life during the war era and how the internment destroyed Seattle's Japanese community and damaged families. This also a hopeful mystery that begs for a happy ending. This book is recommended for books of note and would be an excellent follow-up to Farewell to Manzanar. T. Weinraub

The Invisible Wall.

Bernstein, Harry. The Invisible Wall.
Random House, 2007. 297p $22.95 978-0-345-49580-8

Jews lived on one side of the street, Christians on the other. Despite this invisible wall, a love blossomed between Jewish Lily and Christian Arthur than eventually united the communities. Harry Bernstein tells his family’s incredible story.
Can a 93-year-old man still remember dinner conversations prior to World War I? Little matter, what first-time author Bernstein gives the reader is a poignant and beautiful memoir of a racial; religious, and cultural divide bridged by the power of love.

Growing up in a small Lancashire mill town at the turn of the century, Harry Bernstein endured the violence of anti-Semitism at school and the lethal cocktail of alcoholism and poverty at home. On a street that divided the Jewish and Christian communities, only a few yards came between the communities, but they were worlds apart. Then Harry became the go-between for his older sister, Lily, and Arthur, her Christian lover.

At times the story seems almost too well-remembered, and seems more historical fiction than an actual memoir. Whatever its “real” status, this is a lyrical testament to a bygone time. This story of poverty and resilience, redeemed by the ultimate power of love will appeal to fans of Angela’s Ashes.
Recommended for high school and adult biography collections, multicultural collections, and those containing World War I memoirs. PN

Real All Americans: The Team That Changed a Game, a People, A Nation.

Jenkins, Sally. Real All Americans: The Team That Changed a Game, a People, A Nation.
Doubleday see Random,2007. 343p $24.95 978-0-385-51987-8

The saga of the Carlisle Indians is a triumphant example of an underdog excelling under all odds. And again it was the football field that provided the opportunity for greatness.
The author has written a truly inspirational story about the Native Americans and how they coped with the diminishing of their culture and traditional lifestyle. It was an era of change. It was also a time of intense feelings as the Native Americans had to adapt to the “white man’s” ways just twenty-two years after the Battle of Wounded Knee. America’s focus also changed from fighting wars in the American West to challenges of the gridiron as the American Football Association’s establishment in 1876.
On 11/9/1912, the Carlisle Indian football team faced the Army team in a game that changed not only the game of football but also the way the American people looked at Native Americans. The Army had an impressive team (including an outstanding halfback, Dwight D. Eisenhower) that played a particularly brutal style of football. The Carlisle team was small but quick (coached by “Pop” Warner and included their star runner, Jim Thorpe) and utilized trick plays, fakes, and breath taking speed of their Olympian runner. The Carlisle Indians did not just want to win the game; they wanted to win in a particular way that showed what they could do on an equal plating field with the “palefaces”. The NYT favored them with a public compliment: “One of the most spectacular aggregations of football players, especially in the backfield, ever assembled.”
In reading this book, you will enjoy the humor and sympathize with the inadequacies of the past. You will also gain an additional insight into the turmoil of the American West and what it meant to the Native American culture. LM
