thanks!


message 2: by Leora

Leora Shining SeaShining Sea has an epic grandness that artfully and poetically tells of generations of a family traumatized and suffering the aftershocks of wars in out recent but last century.... The prose and plot make for a a deep tale of relativity and familial kinship.. The characters seamlessly construct a profound story of bonds and the shocks and tragic consequences of war. Highly recommend."
