UkBookSleuth ForumSupernatural/Psychic Young Adult bookI'm looking for a book I read in the mid-80's about a girl, I think her name was Laura(?) who felt very ordinary as her family was composed of very talented over-achievers. I remember her parents were a doctor or scientist and her older sister was a talented actress who got the lead in every school play and I think her older brother was a musician. Then she somehow gains psychic abilities and has visions of the future.

I remember one involved her best friend where she saw her dancing with her arms around an invisible partner and she had an "X" drawn on her temple. It turned out her friend was asked to a dance by a boy named "Mark Temple" - a mark on her temple as shown in her vision.It was a very humorous/supernatural book aimed at young adults. I thought the title was something like "The Visions of Laura.

They improvised hydroponics tanks to keep the air fresh and grow food and to keep themselves sane they practiced recalling everything they had ever read or done. Eventually they reconstructed all the major books they had ever read and memorized each other's recollections. This way of life kept on for years, possibly generations (?) but eventually the technology started to wear out, causing a crisis.

The Diving Pool According to the inside flap Yoko Agawa has written more than twenty books and won every major Japanese literary award. Where else is there for her to go? Either it’s scooping every minor Japanese literary award - probably not worth her while - or it’s off to international waters, to a brand new audience, and perhaps add to her trophy case with an IMPAC, or something.

The Diving Pool, her first book translated to English, is not a novel but a collection of three novellas from early in her career, of about fifty pages, loosely connected by their content. All three are told by young women with a skewed outlook on reality relating stories about family members. In each, Ogawa deploys an precise style that maintains an eerie distance between the narrator and event, her words clinical and charged with meaning, always leading with a slow build that concludes with a twist - although backstroke is probably more apt.

Aya, the narrator of the title novella, lives with her parents in the Light House, which, she says, “is an orphanage where I am the only child who is not an orphan, a fact that has disfigured my family. ” She has a crush on her foster-brother, who spends a great deal of time at the school pool honing his dive seemingly unaware that she is hiding in the bleachers (”I alone can see him, and he comes straight to me. ”) admiring him from afar: Does Jun let his body float free at the bottom of the pool, like a fetus in its mother’s womb.

How I’d love to watch him to my heart’s content as he drifts there, utterly free. It’s a frustrating thing, unrequited love, never mind being treated equal to the orphans by her parents, and Aya finds herself using one of the other orphans, a toddler named Rie, as an outlet: When we grow up, we find ways to hide our anxieties, our loneliness, our fear and sorrow. But children hide nothing, putting everything into their tears, which they spread liberally about for the whole world to see.

I wanted to savor every one of Rie’s tears, to run my tongue over the damp, festering, vulnerable places in her heart and open the wounds even wider. Sources: http://www.worldliteratureforum.com/forum/asian-oceanic-literature/2377-ogawa-yoko-diving-pool.html .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
