The Winter Sisters
by Tim Westover
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Set in a backwater part of Georgia in 1822, this novel contrasts the healing capabilities of a medical doctor and three sisters who are self-taught healers. The book was very enjoyable, at times funny and sad. Of course, the sisters methods of healing with herbs and poultices were more popular and effective than the doctor's amputations and blood-letting. It was a good read.

This was a quick read for me. Sparks kept up a brisk pace and created richly drawn characters who drew me in and made me eager to continue. I read the book quickly, eager to find out how it would all pan out; the ending was very satisfying.

True Colors

book cover


Kristen Hannah is great at evoking a strong sense of place and creating characters that have depth and dimension. This book was heart wrenching in its depiction of family relationships and how we can hurt others as we play out our own psychological dramas. The book also touches on deeply imbedded prejudices in society that directly affect some of the characters in the book. It was worth the read.

Allergic

book cover


I love this book because Maggie, the main character, loves animals, but she’s allergic to them. She finds a new friend who gets a puppy and Maggie feels jealous of her friend with the puppy because she knows she wouldn’t be able to have an animal herself. In the end Maggie’s mom has a baby and now she doesn’t need a pet because she has a baby sister named June.

This book reimagines the character of Jim from Huckleberry Finn. His character is richly drawn; his story is heartbreaking and poignant. His inner strength, wisdom and conviction are inspiring. Highly recommend!

The Marriage Portrait
by Maggie O'Farrell

book cover


This was a brutal portrayal of life in the Italian courts in the 1500's when daughters were groomed to be acceptable matches for other high-powered men. The main character is smart and wily but deeply hampered by her circumstances. There is redemption at the end of the book and, after reading, I was very grateful not to live in that era!
