Xmas dinner in Vermont...

The older I get the more I find myself looking back to the great memories from the past. These books were important to me when I read them in the 1980s. Luckily my partner is a hoarder/ collector of books and these were still on her shelf. I think the reread was every thing and more than the first was. Definitely two books that define an important moment in my life.

New day. New book.
Foot is still healing.

When my mother was alive, I was a different person. That little girl wore simple clothes and wildflowers in her hair and could sing any aria or tavern song known in the Northern Kingdoms.

When I was seven winters of age, my mother caught me in the hearth stacking red-hot coals with my bare hands.

The best book I read in Feb. Other books might have been more interesting or unique, but again, it is the polished writing that I enjoyed in this one.
