#25 was The Nightingale by Kristen Hannah. It was about two sisters surviving Nazi occupation of France during the Second World War. It was heartbreaking in its descriptions of the cruelty and what happened to the people. Each sister chose a different way to survive and each was worthy and hard. The story lost me at the end...the ending wasn't so believable but I enjoyed the novel.
fl: If I have learned anything in this long life of mine, it is this: In love we find out who we want to be; in war we find out who we are. ll: Wounds heal. Love lasts. We remain.
#26 was Big Stone Gap by Adriana Trigiani. This was a fast read...and not a well written piece of literature by any means. The main character is a likable self-proclaimed spinster who looks for love, but not really. It flip flops around and the scenes that could be really great are one or two sentences long. There are more in this series, but I will not be reading them.
fl: This will be a good weekend for reading. ll: I want to watch the two of them forever--a daughter learning to trust, and a father doing the thing he does best: protecting her.
