Magnificent! (This won't come as a surprise to my friends who know me best or my readers who know of my love of trees.) This dense weaving together of tree and human stories is subtle, compelling, heart-breaking, beautiful. If you'd like to experienc ...more |

I usually enjoy Sarah Addison Allen's books, but this one fell flat for me. Not sure why, exactly, but the depth of the magic that I love in her writing was lacking here or not fully realized. I guess they can't all be Garden Spells or the Sugar Quee ...more | |

Another wonderful installment in the Flavia de Luce series, though I missed some of the regular characters perhaps as much as Flavia did. Many unanswered questions at the end of the novel. Though it wasn't my favorite, I'm still a fan of the series a ...more | |

You don't need to be a parent (adoptive or otherwise) for this book to read like a gem. Wilson writes famous last words when she says, "I had this parenting thing down." We all smile along with her, knowing the monkey wrench God was going to introduc ...more | |

“A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words, and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said to-day. — 'Ah, so you shall be sure to be misunderstood.' — Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood.”
