New to me author, thanks to @Billypar ! B&N didn‘t have the two you recommended, but the blurb for this one is intriguing. 😄

And it‘s an Indie Publisher 👏🏾👏🏾

Billypar This sounds good - I might have to make it my next one of hers. 1mo
Cathythoughts I‘m stacking ! @Billypar we are on a Melanie Finn mission 👍🏻😁 1mo

A little disappointed in this….I thought it was a mystery about a young persons death. The novel is less about the mystery, more about how our actions impact one another. I read this book on the Libby app, it would‘ve probably been better reading in book form as it‘s told by 10 different characters. It was a little confusing remembering who‘s who and flipping through the book would have been easier.

While still visiting Norway and England in other books, today I am concentrating on Costal Maine, the setting of this collection of stories/vignettes by Sarah Orne Jewett, who was a writer much admired by Willa Cather.

Tamra Loved that book! 3mo
Cathythoughts I must stack 👍🏻❤️ 3mo
Ruthiella @Tamra I am enjoying it! 3mo

Ruthiella @Cathythoughts It‘s very quiet with a lot of landscape descriptions. I think I can see where it might have inspired Cather. 3mo
Andrea313 This is on my list, thank you for the encouragement to bump it up in my queue! I'm also loving these Smith & Taylor editions- so gorgeous. 💛 3mo
Ruthiella @Andrea313 You are welcome. That is not the edition I am actually reading but I picked it for the picture because it is so pretty. 3mo

I have a lot going on this weekend, but I hope to at least have enough time to finish the #ohcanada pick and #EBBR and #NancyDrewBR . Those are quick ones.

I‘m reading the Sarah Orne Jewett b/c of the podcast “One Bright Book” and it takes time to digest.

The bottom two are also slower for me #hashtagbrigade and #DoorstopKristen #KLBR .

KadaGul You are FULLY BOOKED 📚🤓📚 3mo
Ruthiella @KadaGul I am! 😅 3mo

How awesome to have another Charmaine Wilkerson! I did get confused a few times about the timeline but overall, really enjoyed this. Wilkerson writes beautiful characters and moving stories.

I really enjoyed the way this story is told, something a little different with a lot of layers. It‘s about a major family tragedy and life afterwards. It‘s also historical fiction as we learn the story behind a piece of pottery that has been with a family for generations, from slave days to the present. I liked how everything was interwoven and how the reader gets different perspectives from various characters.

I sat on this review for a while,mainly because there were many voices in this book,some I wasn‘t sure were necessary.In this evocative book the past informs the present. When Ebby was 10, she witnessed her brother‘s murder, & the shattering of a several hundred years old clay jar, representing legacy & family connections.A decade or so later Ebby is stood up at the altar & she fleas to France, where she heals from her trauma.

ncsufoxes My sister gave me this book last month. It‘s on the pile to get to this summer. I really liked her first book, so I‘m hoping this one is good too. 3mo
kspenmoll @ncsufoxes I have mixed feelings about this book so sitting on it awhile before I review it. Definitely worth reading. (edited) 3mo
