Re-reading

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.

Such a great story about changing your life! Took a bit to get into and into the flow but overall not bad!

Not one of my favorites of his. I really didn’t like reading a book within a book in this case (I generally do not mind but I didn’t like it here). I think the plot of this book didn’t really make much sense to me nor did I like the main character. The ending was just too bizarre too.

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).

This was a very slow read. I wasn’t a huge fan of either Shiloh or Cary. I would have liked the back and forth timeline more if the past chapters didn’t keep jumping all around so much. I liked Shiloh’s kids more than I liked her.

This is an excellent book. It is historical fiction. The main character lived and was a midwife but the author created a story around her. Martha and her husband Ephraim are wonderful people/characters who you like, respect and admire. A wonderful book to read. This is my second time reading it.

I was proud of myself because I’m trying to read this book all by myself!

Could not put it down! Loved it all the way to the end and kept me on my toes the entire time (and beyond!)

Very fun and engaging. Great facts about underwater creatures to learn as well
