Oh, how I love these books...

Hi! Thanks for your recommendations!
ReplyDeleteI just finished Sarah's key. It hit me really hard. That poor little girl--and I kept hoping it would turn out the boy was adopted as the son of the family that moved in, and I wanted to cry when he died.
Poor Sarah, tryng to keep that secret and leave it all behind. Maybe if she had talked about it with her husband at least, she could have survived. There was no one to help her with the painful memories, and counseling wasn't common then--or privacy laws.
I started The Shack, but it is hard going at first. I'll see how it goes.
Love you, Lynn
I'll never be the same again after reading "The Shack." Thanks for your recommendations. I look forward to seeing what else you are reading.
ReplyDeleteHi Sister!
ReplyDeleteI finished "A Time to Kill" recently. When K. saw me reading it, he was kind of mad. He said, "I've recommended that to you lots of times and you would never read it!" Oops.
I thought it was really interesting, and at the same time very sad. It's amazing the way events can escalate. Most of all, though, Ms. Womack's question at the end made me take a good hard look at myself. The one she asks the jury before they make a final decision.
I'm working my way through "A Thousand Splendid Suns." I've never been so grateful to be an American woman with a great family and a loving, kind husband.
I'd already read "My Sister's Keeper." I watched the movie recently. That one made me cry too, but I was disgusted they put a 14-year-old girl in a sex scene. Ridiculous! I liked the book ending better but both were tear-jerkers, and I rarely cry over books and movies.
