Thank you, Terrie!! I must say Ann Patchett sure has a way with words. I hope you enjoy this book as well. 🤗

I appreciate your thoughtful and transparent review. It is hard sometimes to explain why we may not connect with one novel and others do… it might not be just one thing either… even tho it’s a beautiful one just the same, ya know? I just have to go with the idea that some novels aren’t written for us. And that’s ok! Also a 3 stars is still a good rating. I’m sorry it wasn’t a better read for you! I hope the next one is better for you! 🌸🩷

Thank you so much, Krickette!! 💝 It was hard to explain why this wasn’t a favorite book of mine, even though I did like it. Sometimes, when reading a story, something will trigger me (us), and moving forward, I just can’t seem to connect afterwards. However, I am glad that this book is a winner for many people. I hope you are reading some great books too! 🤗

Thanks so much for sharing your honest thoughts and opinions about this book, Rachel. I agree with you that the painting of the horse is extremely captivating.

You’re very welcome, Nora! And yes, the cover for this book is stunning! 🤗

Not much happens, so I understand your rating. Like you said, we high rating folk love the writing. And sometimes stories don't resonate...it happens. Wonderful review Rachel.

That’s fair! I hope you love your next! Terrific review! 💞

Thank you very much, Shelley! 💗 I’m still not sure how I feel about this book, which is so odd…

Thank you very much, Darla!! 💗 I’m glad to know that I’m not alone out there. This is such a loved book, that I keep feeling as if something is wrong with me for not connecting with it and loving it like everyone else.

That sounds fair, Rachel. The book can be great, but it may not work for us. Excellent review. You clearly mentioned what worked and what didn't. 💗

That’s fair! I hope your next read is much better. Excellent review, Rachel🧡

Thank you so much, Deeksha!! 💗

I decided to skip this after seeing similar mediocre reviews. I agree, she writes beautifully but if the plot doesn’t work, then the writing doesn’t matter. Sorry this wasn’t a total winner Rachel!

Jan, you are so right in that she writes beautifully, but the plot didn’t really work. You may have been right on skipping this. On to the next one… :)
