Bonfire Night by Anna Bliss
In the beginning, Anna Bliss describes the whispered words about antisemitism. Anna Bliss calmly creates the dreariness of hate. How horrible it is to stereotype people. It is insanity. Some make this jarring hate decision without ever having really gotten to know a Jewish person.With just a few words Anna Bliss makes you squirm and the stomach begins to feel like its seasick. The war has not begun yet. It is in the air blowing gray smoke. Nineteen thirty-six is the year Four or five years years before the sky stopped being a beautiful blue and became blackened by the fighter planes bringing death.
"Bonfire Nights" is also a Love story. Two people, one Irish and one Jewish are attracted to one another. The author eases into this dating game. Feeling their love for one another melts you. Just touching a knee under the table becomes a sensuous moment. Their faith and ethnicity juxtaposed brings to remembrance the fact that love can some times hurt. All of a sudden the world is the master of all their choices.
