So happy to see 5 stars Angela!! Looking forward to your review! 😊
Not hard to fall in love with Ona and the boy, huh?
Thanks , friends .
Sandi, took me all of a minute !
I loved this book, these characters, too, Angela! So happy to see you've read this and loved it!
Oh my! I am adding but can't wait for your review, Angela
Oh I am so happy to see 5 stars, Angela! Looking forward to your review! :-)
I have this book. I need to get to it. So happy to see you gave it 5 stars, Angela. Wonderful review! :)
Great review and love the sound of this one. Thanks Angela.
Thanks , friends. It's just a beautiful story and I hope you love it if you plan to read it .
Just loved your review Angela...sounds so special. x
Great review, Angela! I just loved this book.
So happy you loved it too Angela!!! Wonderful review!!!
Thanks , Paromjit. It really is a special story.
So happy you loved this Angela. I thought it would be one you'd enjoy. Beautiful review.
Love this review, Angela. A book that I look very forward to when the right time comes. Saw that you commented on Ron's review today as well and it was a pleasure to reread that one as well.
Sharon, thanks . After reading your review and other GR friends' reviews I knew I would love it too .
Mike , thanks ! I really loved what Ron did with his list.
I was waiting for your review before I committed myself on this one. I'm in.
Oh woow this sounds like a book I would love!! Thank you for the great review!!
Lovely review, Angela. This one sounds great. You see to be reading up storm these days!
Diane, it's just a wonderful story , maybe too sentimental for some but these characters just got me !
Thanks , Lin . Hope you enjoy it .
Thanks , Esil . Such great characters! Yes, a quiet weekend and a few days without plans - more reading !
Great review to match this wonderful book Angela!
Thanks , Ron . I loved your list !
OK- I was trolling through my ebooks for the next read on the treadmill, and I think you've convinced me that this is the one (been sitting there for years)! It's this or Between Shades of Gray. Thoughts? You've read both (naturally)!
Very different books but coincidentally Ona is from Lithuania and the characters in Between Shades of Gray are deported from Lithuania to Siberia. Between Shades of Gray is more of a gut wrenching read while this one is just plain sad (yet uplifting.) So maybe depends on your mood . Not much help I know.
Great review, Angela! This is on my list for this year and now I really want to read it soon! :)
Thanks , Jaline! Hope you enjoy it . A really good good story.
Ahh... decisions. Well, for the time being, I decided to read a quick 200+ page book for research, THEN it will be a toss up between these two. I enjoyed your review so much!
I have had my eye on this one for awhile, but I was afraid it might be too sappy and sentimental. But now I'm reconsidering!
Melissa, thanks ! I'll be curious to see what you read and what you think!
Donna, it is sentimental. I'm not sure I'd say sappy. I requested an ARc of this and was turned down and decided to forget about it . But I couldn't. There were so many good reviews by GR friends, I couldn't ignore it . So I bought it and it was worth it . I feel as though I need stories like these once in a while, especially after reading some heavy duty books like Sing, Unburied, Sing that I recently read. It's not too light though !
His fascination with world records and recruiting Ona to attain any one was fun. The two of them will always warm my heart.
An amazing and beautiful review, Angela. Love your review and the five stars.
OK... I decided that reviewing two research books at once is too much, so I began THIS book. I'm hooked already! Lovely writing, such fabulous characterization of both the boy and Ona. Wow! Yippee. Thanks for helping me pick :-). Feels like just what I need right now, honestly, amid the other heavier books I'm reading simultaneously.
Melissa , hope you love it . Doesn't feel as heavy but it is pretty sad . I know what you mean . I fell for Ona and the boy immediately!
I love this review Angela! So happy that this book resonated with you. I loved it, too.
Jennifer, thank you . Your review was one that convinced me I really should read this and obviously I'm so glad I did !
Great review. Hopefully, I'll get to read it... one day ...
Yes, I sense, already, that this will be a sad one. But the voices of the characters are immediately refreshing.
Fabulous review, Angela! I love the interactions between the young and the very old - this sounds wonderful :)
Wonderful review! I bought this one several months ago...hope to get to it at some point in time.
Candi , thanks. I'm partial to stories from the perspective of children as well as the elderly and combing them here makes for such a good story!
Bkwmlee, thanks . Hope you enjoy it too .
