I have read Magggie’s Seating Arrangement, and will look forward to this one! She does paint very colorful characters! I just finished another great new book . It is All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr. It is a novel about WWII, and centers on two young people, a blind French girl whose father carefully measures her paths, first in Paris and then in Saint Malo, and constructs models for her to follow, and a German youth who is an orphan and a brilliant radio engineer, and thus one of Hitler’s Youth Corps at a very young age. Doerr’s writing is fabulous, his descriptions unbelievably beautiful…even and especially about war…his similes are magical. I never cease to be amazed at how so many writers that are new to me can come up with such descriptive language. I want to read it again, but I know someone at the library wants it next! I may get it on my Ipad so I can just keep looking at it. Just the things he has to say about life in general are worth reading over. Here’s to lots of good summer reading!
