It was so interesting I could not but the book down read it 5 hours in a row

I enjoyed reading this book. The story is really interesting and touching my heart too. The book is also illustrated nicely. I like the wonderful design of the characters in the book and the abundant details and colors.

I read this book because it was a July Indie Next pick and GMA’s book club pick. I listened to the audiobook via Libby and was surprised by the English-accented narration by actress Lucy Boynton (though in retrospect I shouldn’t because of the author’s Irish origin). This book definitely felt like Survivor with more coupling and more cutthroat consequences. I couldn’t look away from the competition of it all and my interest was maintained up until the couple switching. The book had a bit of a lull but finished with what seemed to be an explosion of the seven deadly sins. This was an interesting book that would be good to discuss but also one I’m unlikely to reread.

Great book! Colleen does a great job at writing another story that you just can’t put down.

I like how her hair color changes and her feelings change when she is feeling different things!

Almost like part 2 of Ritual not quite as thrilling or scary as her previous novels but very interesting development of all the characters

Explains more about the relationship between brothers Jim and Bob Burgess. Great reading for fans of Strout’s other books.

Dual time line story set in 1920's and the present. Fascinating novel about the stealing of eggs from the nests of shore birds to sell to collectors. Well drawn characters and suspenseful. I knew nothing about this so-called "hobby". Warning: You will feel badly for the birds.

The true story of what it took for a young Jewish boy to survive Holocaust Germany and escape to Switzerland.
