But who are they? Answers on Page 29

Has a book ever changed your life or altered your perspective on a certain subject? Because of the pandemic book sales have soared and people who have not read much in the past because of lack of time or no previous interest in reading have taken the hobby up with relish. I cannot claim to have read a book that changed my life but this book certainly changed my perspective. Small Great Things by Jodi Picoult Jodie Picoult'sbooks are always told from different characters’ perspectives. So you read about the characters’ beliefs, their feelings and the range of emotions that they go through. This book was published in 2016, set in the 90s and is about racism, which is always topical. The principal narrators are a black midwife, a white supremacist and the public defender. The author based it on a true-life story in Michigan when a white supremacist father refused to let an African-American nurse touch his baby. This book is set in Connecticut and Ruth Jefferson is an African-American midwife of over 20 years experience. During her shift, she begins a routine check-up on a newborn but then she is reassigned to another patient. She learns that the parents of the baby are white supremacists and don’t want an AfricanAmerican to touch their child and the hospital goes along with this request. However, the next day, the baby goes into cardiac distress while Ruth is alone in the nursery does she obey orders or does she intervene? Because of her decision, she is charged with a serious crime. Her lawyer, Kennedy McQuarrie, a white public defender takes Ruth’s case but insists that mentioning race in the courtroom, is not a winning strategy. Ruth is somewhat conflicted by this advice but she tries to keep life as normal as possible for her family especially her teenage son as the case becomes a media sensation. Ruth has a sister who has very strong views on white people and her life has taken a completely different turn from Ruth’ s. We also learn why Turk, the baby’s father and his wife became white supremacists. Their views were frightening and hard to read about. The white, female, middle-class lawyer has her beliefs challenged. Kennedy does not believe she is at all prejudiced but after listening to Ruth describe her life, has to think again. The story is interesting, the court case is absorbing and there is a clever twist in the end. Submitted by Sheila Defries

I would like to highly recommend a book I read a while ago and having looked it out again I shall relish once more.

The Penguin Lessons by Tim Michell; a true story of the authors career move to Argentina. While holidaying in Uruguay before taking up his teaching position he rescues from the beach an oil slicked young penguin their adventures together begin.

An uplifting book to make you smile -funny poignant and beautifully written.

Have you read a book that has made you think again, perhaps re-examine your beliefs, or just made you smile, that you would like to recommend? Just send me a few words. Ed.

The following are various snippets from history which readers may find interesting, strange, humorous or just plain bizarre.

• Due to an administrative oversight the ironclad USS Monitor, which had been commissioned on 25 March 1862 and foundered in at sea on 31 December 1862, was not officially declared "out of commission" until 30 September 1951.

• Before the use of motor vehicles, in horsed armies, for every three animals used for riding or hauling artillery, two additional horses were needed each week to transport horse fodder.

• In 1912, during a banquet at which Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany was present, 56 -year-old General von Hulsen suffered a heart attack and died before help could be summoned. Precious time was lost when his brother-officers tried to get his uniform back on after removing his ballerina's tutu....

• During the War of the Spanish Succession (170 l-1714), the French Army annually lost about 25% of its men through desertion.

• The homburg hat so common a few generations ago was popularized by King

Edward VII, who had been greatly impressed by the headgear of the militia of the tiny German duchy of Hesse-Homburg.

• The US official Defence Department Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms contains the line "Total Nuclear War. Not to be used. See 'General War'."

• The chief designer of artillery for the French Army in the late 1800s was a General de Bang.

• In 1793, an Austrian army was forced to surrender to the French at Mainz, because it lacked the cash to pay ferry fees across the Rhine River.

• In 1943, the German Army requisitioned 6.2 million ink stamp pads to facilitate the processing of red tape, amounting to roughly one for every man and woman in the armed forces.

• "Blighty" as a term for Britain was coined during the late nineteenth century by British troops stationed in India, deriving from the Hindi word "bilayati -home."
