#BookedInTime World War II @Cuilin @dabbe
I chose this as an Amazon first pick a few years ago. It interesting to read a story set in the Philippines. I hope there will be more World War 2 books written set in the Pacific Theater.

Cuilin Looks interesting. WWII ✅🎉 7mo

The last book read in 2021.

Noland is working as a lantern seller with Elvis. Noland is 10 yr old, mute and lives in the slum with his mother.

Just a few days before Christmas Noland and Elvis is present at a shooting where a woman is injured. Noland decides to take her home.

Soon it is all over the news that an American woman is missing.

We follow the events from Noland, Elvis, their neighbors, the journalists and the government‘s side.
