This is not some bizarre commentary on the books topic - just a weird coincidence.<br /><br />I was enjoying the bit I started too - the strong foreboding and the tender confusion are evident from page one. But we also experienced something similar with my mother-in-law & perhaps losing the book, was a sign that I wasn't quite ready to handle the topic in literary form.<br /><br />Thanks for the great review.Bronahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11110584237325026052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9095179960585908463.post-81309931579645576152014-11-08T14:38:20.316+13:002014-11-08T14:38:20.316+13:00You've got my interest piqued with this.
