Book Review
"The Tuscan Child" book by Rhys Bowen; review by Nancy Chuss
This is a book that draws you in from the beginning. The Tuscan Child starts with an English bomber pilot, Hugo angley, who goes down in Tuscany
which is controlled by the Germans. He is badly wounded and found safely in a bombed out monastery. A local woman tends to him even though the Germans
would kill her if they find out. She tends to him and they fall in love.
Nearly thirty years later after Hugo returns to English and dies, his daughter Joanna finds a letter to a woman called Sofia Bartolli which was returned to him.
Joanna travels to Tuscany to find out what happened there and a mysterious web begins to unravel. Many secrets are unveiled.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY - August 31
Polish government signs accord with
Gdansk shipyard workers 1980
On this day in 1980, representatives of the communist government of Poland agree to the demands of striking shipyard workers in the city of Gdansk. Former electrician Lech Walesa led the striking workers, who went on to form Solidarity, the first independent labor union to develop in a Soviet bloc nation.
In July 1980, facing economic crisis, Poland’s government raised the price of food and other goods, while curbing the growth of wages. The price hikes made it difficult for many Poles to afford basic necessities, and a wave of strikes swept the country. Amid mounting tensions, a popular forklift operator named Anna Walentynowicz was fired from the Lenin Shipyard in the northern Polish city of Gdansk. In mid-August, some 17,000 of the shipyard’s workers began a sit-down strike to campaign for her reinstatement, as well as for a modest increase in wages. They were led by the former shipyard electrician Lech Walesa, who had himself been fired for union activism four years earlier.
Despite governmental censorship and attempts to keep news of the strike from getting out, similar protests broke out in industrial cities throughout Poland. On August 17, an Interfactory Strike Committee presented the Polish government with 21 ambitious demands, including the right to organize independent trade unions, the right to strike, the release of political prisoners and increased freedom of expression. Fearing the general strike would lead to a national revolt, the government sent a commission to Gdansk to negotiate with the rebellious workers. On August 31, Walesa and Deputy Premier Mieczyslaw Jagielski signed an agreement giving in to many of the workers’ demands. Walesa signed the document with a giant ballpoint pen decorated with a picture of the newly elected Pope John Paul II (Karol Wojtyla, the former archbishop of Krakow).
