I’m Back.

At the very end of November, right after Thanksgiving, my grandfather died. Seeing as he was 95, had only stopped driving at 93, and was generally pretty hale and hearty up until the last few months, this was not exactly a horrible tragedy that had me lying awake at night.

This was a good solid, fantasy that I quite enjoyed. The romance although interesting did not overpower the rest of the story -- something I was quite grateful for. I would definitely recommend it.

This is the kind of book that I found myself thinking about long after (I mean weeks after) I initially read it. The characters and situations are compelling and memorable. I can't wait for the sequel!

I have been a big fan of all of Zevin's books, and this one was no exception. It was a thought-provoking work about how we can be pigeon-holed by both our own and other people's expectations for us.
