Words on Fire

 

Words on Fire by Jennifer A. Nielsen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Having traveled to Lithuania and seeing the results today of the Russian occupation, I was deeply moved by this historical fiction novel. We heard stories of the people’s battle to keep their language and culture. This story illustrates that dangerous battle. We traveled out to see the Hill of Crosses. It was one of the most poignant and memorable sights I have ever seen. How important are books? How important is freedom? This beautifully written story answers those questions.
