Very charming! I liked this one slightly less than the previous book (tagged👇🏻) but that‘s only because Arthur Truluv isn‘t really in it. I loved visiting Maddy and Lucille again and meeting all of their friends around town. I loved the side stories. There are a few parts that really tugged at my emotions and a whole lot that made me smile. One of my favorite parts is the descriptions of Lucille‘s baking and other foods from the story.
Elizabeth Bergs books are like warm security blankets.
Night of Miracles follows on from The Story of Arthur Truluv with the characters of Lucille and Maddy adding others along the way. It highlights friendships and how we react to events in our lives, where we land, what we do with them.
One fault with this book is that Berg does not include the recipes of Lucille‘s wonderful baking. The descriptions of which will have you salivating.
Sweet. And so much better than I expected. The author usually messes with me.
I really wasn‘t expecting much from this book, so I was pleasantly surprised. I think this was actually better than the first book in this series The Story Of Arthur Truluv. I was absolutely charmed by these characters and their stories. Lucille was my favorite as she is so driven and always says what she thinks. Berg‘s writing is beautiful and she has a knack for perfectly capturing the emotions we all feel but cannot always put into words.
Really fun story about people in a small town largely held together by a woman who runs baking classes. Very light read, in fact I read it all in one afternoon. Delightful.
I just loved this book, even more than The Story of Arthur Truluv. The people of this community and their intertwining stories were perfect. So nice.
Loved The Story of Arthur Truluv, so excited for the continuation of the story.
"Life is funny, isn‘t it? Funny in the way you can never predict not only what will happen, but who you‘ll become. Here she is, at the end of her life, & look. ... Who would have thought she‘d become such a softie? Some creaky old gate opened when she met Frank,... She has developed not just warmth, love. ... One love departed, & all this followed. Seasons of the heart, she supposes. Never think winter will last when spring is equally inevitable."
The sweetest book I have read all year. Stop by and say hi! https://reecaspieces.com/2018/11/13/night-of-miracles-by-elizabeth-berg/
Finished this ARC right before it expires tomorrow - whew. I really enjoyed this follow up to The Story of Arthur Truluv. It does stand on its own and knowing some of the characters makes this story even better. I love the story of communities of people that really care for each other. I hope there are many communities like this in the world.
It has been a wild morning here today. I am trying to get a little reading in before CVSing today. I am reading Night of Miracles by Elizabeth Berg. It is so good! #alwaysreading #socksunday #coffeeisamust
This was a fun, quick read. Nothing earth shattering, just a book filled with heartwarming characters in a small community in Missouri. While they all have their issues/trials to overcome, they realize that they are not alone nor are they unimportant in helping others with their troubles in life. Humorous and at times reminded me a little of A Man Called Ove...but with a lovable Lucille at the helm. 4/5⭐️
