It is really good. I like the whole series????

Beautiful picture book that encourages everyone to try and repair or better our world.

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

Because it kept me entertained

I picked up this tiny book of poetry because I have immense fondness for Sharon Creech’s novel Walk Two Moons. I blazed through this in one sitting- reading a physical copy while listening to the audiobook aptly narrated by Scott Wolf. The youthful voice of an elementary boy shines through the simple poetic prose. It took me a bit to get into the narrative but a linear story unfolds that is both sweet and tugs at the heartstrings.

Helen Cartwright, 83 y/o, has returned to her family home in a small village in England after 60 years in Australia to die. Not that she has a diagnosis beyond being old.

She does the same thing most days and memories do not give her comfort. Then she unwittingly brings a 5” male mouse into her house. He decides to stay with her and she decides to care for him. (This is not a talking mouse or an anthropomorphic rodent). To care for him she starts meeting a few people she can connect with as she moves from removing the mouse by trapping to naming Sipsworth and hoping wildlife rescue group will take him to making Sipsworth a housemate. Eventually it is revealed that Helen has done significant things. Slow start. A comforting book. Perhaps this book raises awareness of long term grieving, loneliness, sadness and isolation in people in our lives (or in ourselves).

Book published in 2006 and the data was scary then. It is horrifying now. There must be enough smart politicians in this country to see the science and the obvious disaster awaiting the next generation. We all have to work together toward the same solution and not accept the defeatist attitude 'If that country doesn

Another visit to Olive Kitteridge’s corner of Maine, but this time she is not the total focus of the story. Instead the reader is introduced to a number of previously untold stories from the town’s past, a murder is exposed, and various characters explore love and the meaning of life.
