It's rare for a work of fiction to explore the satisfaction of work. In The Stone Carvers Urquhart explores how a woman can find satisfaction through her work. It's a beautiful work.

I plan on finishing this book today.

This was... Not what I was expecting. While I appreciated the unfamiliar subject matter (Canadians in WWI) I somehow led myself to believe it would be more about the woman left behind, rather than her damaged brother, but it wasn't really. Just...meh. #litsyatoz #S #brrhchallenge #bookaboutwar

In her youth Klara lives in Ontario and loses her brother (who disappears one day when she is young) and her lover Eamon (to a war far from home, WWI). After this, she stays alone, keeps to herself and tries to forget about her feelings.

I cannot tell you how she ends up as a stone carver in France without giving away too much of the story, but it is a moving story, beautifully written and one to cherish. #Booker #manbooker

My #riotgrams #shelfie is chaotic and hasn't changed much...I can't seem to get through these books. #booksnbooze
