by Mary Ann Shaffer

Ah -- great to hear that you read it. I loved the way the authors got the history into the story -- history I knew nothing of. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/68260154 to: The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society (Hardcover) by Mary Ann Shaffer

I so loved this book and this author. Such deep wisdom. Bill, who doesn't read many books, also read this and loved it. I can't express myself well in these reviews, but I urge you to check this one out. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76328833 The Sweet Breathing of Plants: Women Writing on the Green World (Paperback) by Linda Hogan

I loved this book. Very hard (true) story about a young medical student who escaped the slaughter in Burundi (all connected with our better perhaps known story of Rwanda). He ends up in New York City, lives initially in Central Park, and eventually is befriended by a nun who tries to find him a place to live and friends to help him get back into school, etc. My description is way too simplistic -- but I urge you to read it! ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75276438 Half Broke Horses: A True-Life Novel (Hardcover) by Jeannette Walls

I loved this book. Such beautiful writing. I was a little confused about Irish history, but my lack of knowledge didn't take away from my thorough enjoyment. I will be checking out some of this author's other books sometime soon. ]]>
