Before Dorothy | Hazel Gaynor
post image

6/20

Another Hazel Gaynor gem that pulls you right in and warms your heart.

If you loved Auntie Em from the Wizard of Oz. you won‘t want to miss this beautifully written, heartwarming account of her life in Kansas.

There are subtle mentions of the characters and scenes in The Wizard of Oz, and it tells of Auntie Em‘s difficult life through the depression and the dust bowl.

Aims42 This sounds fantastic!! Putting a hold in at my library for it now 🤩 I love ‘The Wizard of Oz‘ and any novels surrounding it. “Finding Dorothy” is another great read, it focuses more on L. Frank Baum‘s wife, Maud, and her story, a can‘t miss 👍 3d

BOOK BASED ON A PAINTING

Set in a dual timeline ranging from 1492, Milan, to Munich during WWII.

We meet Cecilia Gallerani who is the woman in Leonardo Da Vinci‘s “famous portrait Lady with An Ermine.”

Superb storyline and a work of art in itself.

It is a beautiful tribute to artists of the world and to those who fought to preserve it. 5/5

The writing and storyline are just pull-you-in amazing.

A marvelous, heartfelt, as well as heartbreaking read with wonderful characters you will love and feel for.

What a delightful read with delightful characters.

We meet housewives in the 1960s who say they are happy, but are they really?

When the neighborhood women gather together for a book club and read The Feminine Mystique by Betty Frieden, their bonds become stronger and some break out of their roles.

Hurray for these housewives and friendships women make!! 5/5
