A powerful story that truly opens one’s eyes to the different forms of abuse and mistreatment faced by some (and how these can go unaknowledged both by the victim and those watching).

I would recommend this book because it is based on a true story about two dogs.

This book is really good and really exciting

This book was hard to connect to because the main character refers to everyone around her as a title (ex:the husband, the daughter) and refers to no one by name. She is stuck in a less than perfect marriage and is treated as an outcast for her profession as a funeral cryer, which to many makes her bad luck. As soon as she seems to making some changes for her happiness the story kind of abruptly ends. I really wanted more from the ending. One thing I did appreciate about this book was the glimpse into Chinese culture at the time.

Not one of my favorites of her. I thought there was too much info dumping about popular restaurants and stores in Nantucket and not enough focus on the plot. I did not like many of the characters in the story either especially Leslee and Bull.

I really enjoyed the plot in this book, it was unique. I liked Eileen and Anders and how they both love reading. I haven’t read too many books where the main characters love to read so I really enjoyed this one.

The plot was fairly predictable, but the descriptions of the unusual setting, the weather and the seed vault made for an interesting read.

It was fine, though not this author’s best. The characters never cohered, but the climactic moments were exciting.

I didn’t like that the boy wasn’t really from Paris.

Light and easy. Not my favorite in the series, but you can’t go wrong with the laundry club ladies. Always entertaining and cute!
