The Language of Sycamores
The Language of Sycamores | Lisa Wingate
9 posts | 6 read
Karen Sommerfield has been hiding from life-immersing herself in a high-powered job-until the day the company downsizes her out of a job and the doctor tells her that she may have cancer. It's a double blow that sends Karen on a search for herself in the last place she ever thought to look: Grandma Rose's old farm. As Karen's hectic schedule falls away, she opens up to the unexpected. In the quiet of the Missouri Ozarks, she hears the soft, secret language of the sycamore trees, and discovers answers and a joy to make her life complete.

This was okay - negatives were that it was incredibly predictable (almost from the start I knew how everything would work out) and issues too easily resolved; positives were that it is an uplifting and hopeful story -

#20in4 @Andrew65 - two books read for the readathon (yay)

Make a great day everyone -

Thanks for the tag @JessClark78

I read for knowledge in my field (sociology and criminal justice) and I read to escape from that knowledge 😂 Reading is a way to get out of my head for a short period of time.
My family encouraged reading - I remember always liking the library - it was a comfortable place to be - and I really enjoyed reading early on -
I read any time I can -
Make a great day everyone 🙂

#20in4 hope to finish tagged book and Stoner.
Unfortunately my hold for Verity has not come in and that is needed for my #BookSpinBingo this month 😔
Therefore I did not meet one of my #BFC2022 goals this month (a bingo) but I did work out 22 days(and counting) 🙂

Thanks to all of the hosts @Andrew65 @TheAromaofBooks and @wanderinglynn

Make a great day everyone 🌞

Wow, loved this book, read it in one day. Once I got into it the pages just started turning.
Forgot how Lisa Wingate draws you in and grabs at your heartstrings.

This was just ok for me. I struggled to get invested in the characters.

I wasn't super impressed with this book... I adored Lisa Wingate's "Before We Were Yours" and I was expecting that same imagination and writing style. This was a lovely story about familial bonds and forgiveness. But it also felt a little forced, somewhat corny... And I'm not sure but it lacked something.

It was still an alright read and maybe I'm simply being too critical.

?? Happy Reading ??
