I like fox

I liked it because Rocket learned how to read.

Set in the remote woods of Pennsylvania's Blue Ridge Mountains, this book centers on a young woman who has secluded herself from the world to recover from a past trauma. A foreigner mysteriously shows up in the area; he also seems traumatized and haunted by his past. Although their lives seem as bleak as the winter woods setting, a mutual understanding creates a tenuous friendship between them. Disturbing truths revealed at the end were difficult to fathom and highlighted the extent to which humans can hurt each other. I was absorbed by this book; it wasn't a joyful read but was worthwhile.

I enjoyed the humor and levity in this book, a nice change from my usual fare of heavy historical fiction. Set in Tuscany in a beautiful village that is suffering in its old age, this book features a colorful cast of quirky, lovable characters. Through a series of hardships and antics, the villagers come to understand that the love and harmony between them are their greatest treasures.

This book is really good.

Good

This was a powerful tale that spans centuries; it focuses on the women of the Weyward family, all of whom suffer abuse by men. It's brutal to read what they went through but I drew comfort from the women's inner strength, cunning and sense of purpose. I enjoyed reading about their bond with the natural world and their ability to use herbs to heal which, in ancient times, caused them to be labeled witches. I thought the book was well-written and engrossing.

I like the giraffes dance
