Let me know if you pick it up!!<br /><br />@ Farm Lane Books - Rumor has it, Lauren Groff is working on another novel, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed it's soon!! I haven't read her short story collection, but am thinking of picking it up -- will let you know my thoughts, and we can compare!<br /><br />Brenna -- Thanks!! Let me know your thoughts if you pick it up!<br /><br />@ Heather -- If you like a little magical realism, some ghosts, family secrets, and flashbacks into another time period, then you may really enjoy this!! Happy weekend to you as well!!<br /><br />@ Amanda -- I know...my TBR list is going to break the shelves that they rest on! And my TBR list on Paperbackswap is just overflowing...!! But, add this one, and let me know what you think!<br /><br />@ Ruth -- I really fell in love with Lauren Groff's writing, it just pulled me in and was exquisitely descriptive. I really did mean it when I mentioned that I felt like I could be lolling about on a lake in a small boat and reading this, letting the sun shine down on me...or maybe fog for this book!

It is so interesting how two different people can see the exact same thing from such a different perspective. You're the first person I've "talked" to who has read this book. Now I wonder if everyone else who has read it liked it as much as you did! In case you are wondering--my favorite part was the cover. ;)Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15867744753830511111noreply@blogger.com
