RECENT REVIEWS TO LIVE OUT LOUD
on November 8, 2015
A fascinating glimpse into the life of Émile Zola, a French journalist in the 1900s who sacrificed everything to uphold the honour of France and prove the innocence of Alfred Dreyfus, wrongly court-marshalled and imprisoned for spying. Although a fictional story, it is based in fact and is beautifully told and the writing in keeping with the time it portrays. It’s not a long novel, but the characters are engaging and I found it an inspirational read – to see one man’s personal stand for truth against injustice. Recommended.

Before I read this book, having read the notes, I recognised the name Emile Zola. I couldn’t think why except that he was a French author that eventually came to Britain. I’d never read any of his books, and I’d never heard of the so called Dreyfus Affair. It intrigued me and made me want to find out straight away.
Having read one of Paulette’s book’s before I knew what to expect. She indeed a great writer, and as this story unfolds, told from the point of view of David, Emile’s friend, you become immersed in the story and the injustice of a French-Jewish army officer being falsely convicted of a the crime of selling secrets to the Germans in the Victorian era. All at once you are moved by the injustice of the affair, and of Zola’s attempt to clear the poor man’s name. It smacks of anti- Semitism of the worst kind, as clear then as it is in some cases even now. The fact that Zola himself was in great danger makes it even more poignant.
I do like Historical novels, and as this is based on a real event, makes even more interesting. Full marks to the author for making the reader aware of this, I would definitely read more of Paulette’s books.

I don’t usually read these kinds of stories, but once I started reading His Name was Ben, I couldn’t put it down. A heart breaking love story about cancer victims, hope, and survival. Great story.

Beautiful animals all. Hard to believe they have had to be saved, to survive. Yet but for the Paulette Mahurin’s of this world, they would be no more!
Way too many still live in cages on death row, at no fault of their own. I just wish there were more one could do to help end the suffering, not just for dogs for all the needless suffering that exists. I know, I’m a dreamer. I sure do appreciate your kind words and it is a benediction to see these beautiful free dogs. ❤
You do all you c

You kind words mean a lot, Helen. They inspire me to want to do more. Thank you! ❤
It is always such a happy moment to see these little faces… bless you for all that you do!
