The Innocents...
How did you like it? My friend love love loves Michael Crummey but I haven't read anything yet. I might read Galore for the whale task.

Vicki wrote: "How did you like it? My friend love love loves Michael Crummey but I haven't read anything yet. I might read Galore for the whale task...."Michael Crummey is one of my favourite authors. I love the harsh, isolated Newfoundland setting. I realize that one of the story lines in The Innocents won’t be for everyone, though I think it was realistic and incredibly well told. I haven’t read Galore yet - hope to get to it sometime this year.

I could slot book 1 and book 3, but not book 2 - unless I moved book 1 somewhere and put book 2 in its place. That shuffle had a domino effect and I ended up shifting a few other books to make it happen. It was kind of painful.
