Harry's Trees
by Jon Cohen
View in Library Catalog
book cover


This was a sweet, magical realism book. Characters were colorful and quirky, with many human foibles. Those who face tragedy deal with it in differing ways - some believing in the magic of fairy tales, others sticking to practical realism. You'll have to read the book to find out which way the story turns!

A short, sweet book about the power of a pet to draw an old person back into the will to live. Sometimes funny, always heartwarming.

I didn’t like this book because it’s a little too babyish.

Ways to Hide in Winter
by Sarah St. Vincent
View in Library Catalog
book cover


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.

A riveting inter-generational saga with glass as the central ever-evolving theme. Human fragility is highlighted.

I like how they use animals and making them talk for the book

Weyward
by Emilia Hart
View in Library Catalog
book cover


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.
