"I believe that recovery is a process of being reborn. You know, you can keep stumbling or you can go through the process and find peace."

Simply lovely.
I think I am a lot like Ove

"Maybe their sorrow over children that never came should have brought the two men closer. But sorrow is unreliable in that way. When people don't share it there's a good chance that it will drive them apart."

This isn't your typical Anne Tyler. But I needed fun, light hearted and a guaranteed happy ending and that's just what I got. Tyler 's take on retelling Taming of the Shrew is short and sweet. A perfect weekend read.

When Lily was 15 she traveled 500 miles from Texas to Arizona alone on horseback.

There are a million things I loved about this book, but that fact might be my favorite.

This book wrecked me. It's beautiful and horrible. A story of strength, love and survival in war torn Kabul, Afghanistan.

Possibly one of the most uniquely constructed books I have ever read, this Dante-esque story is as beautiful and heart breaking as it is strange. Covering deep topics like grief, regret, death, redemtion, vice, virtue, fear, self-absorption and self-sacrifice, if you can let go of your expectations for how a story should be told, this is well worth the read.
