The beginning of the the book was beautiful, even poetic in its language. The middle got rather tedious, and I stopped to read some other shorter books. The end is sad. But I still recommend it- so much truth told through some interesting characters' lives.
Listening to an old classic Treasure Island! The narrators are fabulous!
Read "The Secret Book and Scone Society" by Ellery Adams. A group of girl friends, each with a traumatic back story, organize as a support group for each other, and end up solving a murder mystery. It is part of a series, which I hope to read more of.
Listening to "Days of the Dead", by Barbara Hambly, a Benjamin January series, but placed in Mexico instead of New Orleans. Takes place in the early 1800's before Texas became independent from Mexico. Always a murder mystery, this book describes the fascinating cultural background of Mexico in those years.
Another one to recommend: Suspect, by Robert Crais. A man on a police force adopts a former military German Shepherd. Both have psychological wounds (PTSD) from military service. Such a great canine story with the retraining of the dog for police duty, along with a crime drama.
