The concept of an eye for an eye in a fiction novel at it's finest.

Another continuation of Lisbeth Salander's story and she is Fighting harder she ever has before not just for herself but for others. Even a prison can't control Salander from anyone including from herself getting in more trouble. Moving pieces throughout the novel at once it started to move along to the main plot of the connection of the web of family connections as a game of chase beyond Lisbeth.

Eye for an eye - Must read

And nevertheless Mikael is right there to catch it all , helping solving mysteries and other connections to her and the registry that started the mess with other children as well. New characters to add to the drama , like another set of twins Leo and Dan. And the complete unexpected death that started the unravel of fights, searches for answers into the registry to find the answers to those who ruined their lives and protecting another women whom was put in the same prison as Salander for the wrong reason. In this novel Salander is more of a fighter and a protector then ever to take an eye for an eye; taking the punches and yet at the same time always having the upper hand in the situation. The eye of the person who destroyed her childhood to her current life as an adult. And the Hacker society is there help as usual , having her back in her time of need for extra back up.

At the beginning and the end , the question of , "Why is the dragon tattoo is important to her?, to her in her past and to her present. It seem to be the thesis of the novel and I wanted the answer to that question since book one of Lisbeth series began. That representation of that dragon turn out to be the statute of a dragon being threatened with the sword by Saint George. That statue opened up her eyes at a young age of her life during the pouring rain and the end of this novel's questions. I like to think we all have fire in us, either we know it or not, either we use it or not, we have it and that statue make is a great representation of that.

 

There comes a novel that doesn't just change you as a reader, writer but as a Human as a whole like this one. I didn't cry in sorrow as I expected that I would but sat in Absolute silence for the rest of the day. But from the beginning to end, I understood every word, every line by line, page by page ; chapter by chapter until I reached the end.


An Extraordinary life that two individuals meant to be in life together and went through to not only survive the timeframe in history where they were meant to be erased. That,

"What made them who they are in DNA; being Jewish and individuals wanted not only them but a whole race to be removed from history".

To where They end up after all, their hardships to find each other afterwards and have all the love in the world; each day is beautiful as the next, sunshine or not building their home together.

I feel Lale and Gita in the presence of the wind as on my heart without even meeting them even tho it feels like I knew them.

Leaving a mark on my heart; survival I understand not in the way they lived their freedom and innocents taken away in one second to death. Especially Lale, smartest and bravest man to know how to survive and give anything he had to others knowing it's another risk on top it all. I think he had many lives as a cat but I think luck and God were on his side to come out on the other side of that dark time to Share this truth of his and Gita life above it all. I can't imagine those three years felt like everyday and night to either of them and to all the Jews, Hungarians and the Romainis in those camps. Building and living in places where they weren't meant to die; in the end. Living with those painful memories is beyond unimaginable but understood. Their love story of their relationship alone is just extractory remarkable even if in the place where they were meant to die but also living together for the rest of their lives as much love beyond what only a couple could hope for in life. I don't think Lale should feel guilty; he was surviving and providing more food for others to also survive. And Pepan is the one who saved him and gave him the opportunity to work and hurt people less then another person would. He wasn't alone in providing more to others, the girls that worked in the Canada unit risked their lives to provide the currency to make deals.

I hope they are happy where ever they are and with those they have lost. And to their son ; I hope he knows he as the most remarkable parents in the world to live through and survived ." If you wake up in the morning, it is a good day"- Lale Sokolov They were the Sunshine in that darkness for everyone then and to those who read their story now.

I believe everything happens for a reason no matter what it is or what occurs there is good after it all. I do believe Lale had more lives, strength then anyone to live, we should all amount to that.

I love the lovely painting of the romany women painting followed them to their adventures to different homes from Slovakia, I like to think the woman in the painting is Nadya watching over them.I don't want to give anymore away then I have , it's definitely a novel to read and not be forgotten about and to share. I think it a piece of history that should be in schools and talked about in depth like Lale said himself; so it won't happen again.

If you haven't read one Holocaust story before please read this one.

 


This Sunday will be the Luck of the Irish known as ST Patrick day.

I will be celebrating like most people wearing something green, eating a bit of cabbage,corned beef and a few sweets. And hopefully finding a four leaf -clover , but that's one out of ten thousands chances and happens every five years. Each leaf of a clover represents something special and I didn't know that; they are Hope,Faith,Love and Luck. When one person passes on their clover down to another means double luck for them. I don't know about you , I like being hopeful that I could find one then just winning the lottery.

Did you know St Patrick's Day color used to be blue than green? I didn't know that either and it has so much history attached to that emerald green color than just being called The Emerald Isle. It's because of the rebellion of 1798 against the British rule. History teaches us so much about where things come from and where we are now. I think each celebration each year teaches something new we didn't know and opens new discussions in depth.

Enjoy the day around cerebrating and I hope you all will be wearing something green , so you don't get pinched and have a shamrock shake or even a little bit of Guinness beer ; if you like.
