⭐️⭐️⭐️ this tale was slow starting but kept me wanting to find out what happens. a young woman finds out her life with her father wasn‘t fully true. she finds out her mother has been looking for her. her whole world is flipped.
mystery of what happened when she was a little girl that made her dad take her away.
the ending was a little disappointing. 🙁

A beautifully illustrated story of the showy lady slipper which is the Minnesota state flower.

I had read all Peter Geye‘s books and didn‘t know this one existed until someone on Litsy ( I can‘t remember who said this one was her favorite.). I concur, I loved it! September reading wrap up. Other highlights: The Collected Regrets of Clover and When Women Were Dragons.

paper.reveries @Cazxxx I decently enjoyed The Vanishing! I tried another but DNF'd. Would love to give her another shot! Do you have a favourite book of hers that you'd recommend? 11mo
Cazxxx @paper.reveries From memory my favourite was The keepers of Metsan Valo, I also really liked daughters of the lake and The end of Temperance Dare. Hope you find one that you like! 11mo

May 12 #MayMontage Read in the Storm. I don't have any recommendations for any book read in a storm, but I do have a song from a Canadian icon who passed away last week. I grew up with Gordon Lightfoot singing in our living room. I was sad to hear he was gone. @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Eggs Me too, listened to lots of Lightfoot in early 70s🥰 11mo

Part travelogue, part history, Northland is a book about the regions around the northern US border - from Maine all the way to Washington state. Porter Fox takes us along on a series of voyages - by canoe, by Great Lakes freighter, and by car across the north of the United States.

stevesbookstuf1 I enjoyed this book as someone who has called northern Michigan my home for the past seven years. I found Fox's journey by Great Lakes freighter journey fascinating. But unfortunately by traveling that way Fox missed the best of the Northland by skipping entirely the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. 😕😯 (edited) 1y
stevesbookstuf1 As a fan of History the sections on the history of the border were the best part. The travelogue sections were well written, but missing some of the personal introspection and transformation that makes the best travel books so enjoyable.

Four Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐
