The Motion of the Ocean: 1 Small Boat, 2 Average Lovers, and a Woman's Search for the Meaning of Wife:
"I would surely have quit reading this book even before page 100 if it hadn’t been a book club selection. (I have a 100 page rule that if I don’t care how a book is going to end by the time I’m on page 100, I don’t finish it.) My chief complaints are "

"What can I say that hasn’t already been said in the other amazing reviews? There is so much about WWII history that I never knew about. Putting together a narrative with two stories and their double timelines is a feat the author pulled off brilliant"

“The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows & the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years.”
