Kathy from Bermudaonion’s Weblog listened to the audio of Aleutian Sparrow by Karen Hesse for the WWII reading challenge. Here’s an excerpt from her review:
This book contains a lot of Aleutian terms, so I had a lot of trouble following it. There is a verbal glossary at the end, but it didn’t really do me any good after the book was over. I’m not sure it would have helped at the beginning either. I think I would have enjoyed the written version of this book more than the audio.
Having said that, I found the author’s note and an interview with Harriet Hope that followed the story fascinating, since I had never heard of the internment of the Aleut people during World War II.
