#3Books #basedontruestories

I didn‘t know these books were based on real life until after I read them - which made it all the more heartbreaking!

OriginalCyn620 I‘ve read Room and it was the same with me - at the time I didn‘t know it was based on a true story. 4y
Josee.lit.a.lu.et.lira I read 2 out of 3 😊 4y
lynneamch We read this in my Tennessee bookclub. Some of the members remembered reading about it in the newspapers when it actually happened. Heartbreaking. 4y

From my shelves. I‘ve only read Manzanar and someday I‘ll get to the other two.

Here‘s my #3Books...#BasedOnTrueStories (or I guess actual people)
I wasn‘t a fan of the Edna O‘Brien book, but the story about the girls of Boko Haram was really heartbreaking
Tagged book is based on the NY nanny story
Dancer is a fictionalized story based on dancer Rudolph Nureyev ( really good)

ChaoticMissAdventures Curious about Girls I bought it before I realized she was a white British woman with no connection to the girls. Which made me feel a bit weird about it and keeps stopping me from picking it up. 4y
SilversReviews Interesting....I didn‘t know THE PERFECT NANNY was based on a true story. 4y

Cinfhen @ChaoticMissAdventures I borrowed the audio from #Hoopla and while it was well researched it was off putting knowing Edna O‘Brien‘s background. It felt disassociated, if that makes sense. 4y
ChaoticMissAdventures @Cinfhen makes perfect sense, this was my fear of it. So much trauma that I just wish I had been told by someone within the culture if not the community. 4y

Mist Over Pendle | Robert Neill
post image

#3Books #BasedOnTrueStories

Mist Over Pendle is centred around the Pendle witch trials;

Faith, Hope and Charity is based around the legend of three* Gloster Gladiators that protected Malta against attack during WWII until more powerful Hurricanes arrived (*there were likely more than 3 but the legend sticks at 3!);

Order of the Day is a fictional account of meetings in the 30s leading up to the war.

These three books are all based on true stories. Loving Frank is about Frank Lloyd Wright, Guests on Earth is about Zelda Fitzgerald, and The Last Ballad is about Ella May Wiggins, who was involved in labor strikes in the 1920s. The latter two are both set here in my home state of North Carolina.

OriginalCyn620 I‘ve read Guests On Earth and really liked it! 4y
MallenNC @OriginalCyn620 I liked it a lot too. I think you‘d like other two also. 4y
SilversReviews LOVING FRANK was so good. 4y
MallenNC @SilversReviews It‘s been so long since I read it but I remember really liking it. I may have to read it again. 4y
SilversReviews @MallenNC Enjoy if you reread it. 4y
