For some reason there is never any talk about them and it's as if they didn't matter. I feel for all races that have led lives that we cannot imagine but more than one race has been through hell. Just saying. Not wanting to be a downer and I really enjoy your blog. Sorry but no one ever talks about all of the others.

I just con't want to be that horrified or sad, I know ducking my head in the sand and all is not smart. I did just finish Girl on the Train and it was very good.<br />Hugs,<br />MeredithMereknitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04596140300034854370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8020871316401082930.post-78284746863239410002015-04-25T08:01:57.950+01:002015-04-25T08:01:57.950+01:00I saw the film 12 years a slave and have the book ...I saw the film 12 years a slave and have the book but its in a pile waiting to be read.

I couldn't say I "enjoyed" the film - but it was brilliant and awful at the same time. Worth watching in my opinion.
