As a consequence of this, he grew up with three languages - English, Irish and German - and a sense of never really belonging to any: "There were no other children like me, no ethnic groups that I could attach myself to".

Brilliant. It’s a lovely, rich, strange book, very truthful and moving, with a beautiful ending.” — Tessa Hadley If books could speak, what would they tell of the people in whose hands they have been? This is what happens in Hugo Hamilton’ extraordinary novel. I was delighted to have journeyed with this story, and will read more by Hamilton. Thankyou to Net Galley and the publisher for allowing me this enchanting ‘tell me a story’ which is an absolute vindication of all the pleasures of reading fiction.The narrator of this novel is Rebellion, or one copy of it in particular. Its owner, a Jewish professor, passed it on to a student of his for safekeeping. On May 10, 1933, this student smuggled it away from the university in Berlin where upwards of 25,000 books were burned (see photo above). The thing I love most about the American Library Association is its commitment to academic freedom and freedom of information and its opposition to censorship. The volunteer who destroyed our book obviously had not read the ALA's Code of Ethics.

It did allow me to access cloud storage in Dropbox, etc but still keeps freezing or crashing completely and now has a number of conflicted versions of the same document which you then have to start working out how to manage - in 30 mins, I managed to acquire 13 different versions of the same document on both the iPad and in Dropbox! This means having to go through and delete the majority. Not sure if working through google docs or similar is proving as frustrating. While watching documentaries showing the pyres onto which books were burnt during the Nazi regime, I sometimes wondered if there had been people courageous enough to save any book indexed by the Nazis. Mr Hamilton offers us a tale of a novel by Joseph Roth which escaped the fire and was given to a young American woman by her father with a request to take the utmost care of it.
