Interview with Penelope Holt, author of The Apple

Yesterday, I reviewed The Apple by Penelope Holt (click the link to read it if you haven't already), which addresses the Herman Rosenblat Holocaust hoax.

I also set up an interview with Penelope Holt, and I was surprised and delighted that she answered my questions so quickly!  It has been a pleasure corresponding with her via e-mail.  I applaud her for tackling a subject that's not easy, and as I said in my review, I think she did a good job in taking a more balanced approach to the story.


My interview with Penelope is on my Examiner page.  Click here to read it.

This book is on my wish list!

Good post-the book has stirred some controversy. Do not read it then is my suggestion.

~Anonymous: Thanks for the link.

~Serena: Thanks!

~Anonymous: Thanks for the link.

~Gautami: I hope you get a chance to read it. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

~Esme: That's what I say! If it's too controversial for you, just don't read it. Personally, I like reading the controversial books (well, not all of them, of course) just to see what the fuss is all about!
