pickBeautiful story, so well written. I had never read anything about life at sea in the 1860s. Beth Browning is a wonderful Canadian author who managed to bring this time period to life. I will be reading her book “ The Sister‘s Tale” in the near future.

Audiobook
This was not a typical book choice for me, but I really enjoyed the Atlantic Canada-ness of it all. This coming of age story takes place in the 1960s, in New Brunswick. The story is told by a young girl in a small town that is about to be underwater - a calculated consequence of building the Mactaquac Dam. I enjoyed the audio, as the narrator's distinctly Maritime voice provided an extra bit of authenticity.
pickThis was an absolutely delightful book ❤️❤️ so much art and intrigue and magic! I was a bit teary at the very end. Time to get my novel study ideas organized and on the computer for next week
Trying to get this finished so I can get my read aloud study of it hammered out ( I‘ve got a few art ideas percolating in my brain too)
Going to use this as a read aloud in my grade 5 class
@TheLudicReader ... Well, it wasn't easy to wait until my birthday, but boy, am I glad I did! I can't thank you enough for the lovely presents all representing your Canadian home. I am loving the Cole tea (I even made it into iced tea, and it was FABULOUS!), I already ate too many maple candies (like Ross in Friends), and the book looks very intriguing! ⬇️
Manners above all
