Last night, long after the girls were in bed, I went to bed myself and started reading this book.
I stayed up finishing this book until the clock showed numbers which I refuse to admit to anyone for fear my husband, who watched me “help” this morning, have actual facts and not just suspicions as to the extent of my sleep deprivation.
I have spent the afternoon within the fog of the book – lines, characters, events and ideas rolling over and over in my head.
Would I recommend it? Yup, this one swallowed me whole.

I read this on a recommendation from a good friend. It took me about 4 days, which is pretty fast for the amount of time I get to read these days. It was quite a tear-jerker and really drew me in. Gail at Making Life An Art
Yes, I went to bed with quite a soggy pillow that night. Glad you liked it too!
Geez, I’ll take that recommendation to the bank
Thanks, finished it in 2 days…and woke up with red, puffy eyes.
Jessie,
I looked over some of your book suggestions.. and chose this one to read. It was so good! I’m currently recommending it to all my friends… Ethan saw me crying while reading and couldn’t believe a book made me cry. He’s weird.
