On the first anniversary of the death of his wife, Arthur Pepper found a charm bracelet that he had never seen...a brilliant debut.

JessKH Are you reading this now? It's one of my BEA books and sounded really good. 8y
Karenand3 Yes, I am! I think it's really easy to read with some British humor and words! Great characters as well! 8y
Karenand3 I think it came out last week! Was the author there? 8y
JessKH No unfortunately not. It was part of the book club speed dating presentation and looked interesting. 8y
Karenand3 Oh, too bad! 8y

"No story is a straight line. The geometry of a human life is too imperfect and complex, too distorted by the laughter of time and the bewildering intricacies of fate to admit the straight line into its system of laws."

Miller's Valley: A Novel | Anna Quindlen

Pickpick

Reading Anna Quindlen's Miller's Valley is like sitting in front of Grandma with a cup of warm tea, listening to her telling a tale - comfortable, peaceful, yet you feel so close to the characters. The story becomes part of you. The story is life itself.
