Dec 15, 2013....this is one of the picks for the Canada Reads debate which starts in March 2014. I am going to put aside my Steven King Dark Tower series and start these books. This one came in first so, it gets read first, although I see 3 more came in on Friday. (it's Sunday) Going to be a happy reading winter! I am on page 27, and so far liking it. Reminds me a bit of "The Seal Wife" and "The Birth House." Maybe it's just that east coast flavour? (Oh, just checked, "The Seal Wife" was set in Alaska.....same remote, small town feel?)......Dec 17, finding this story very sad. I'm on page 138, still a lot more to go, but really not sure what path it will take. Must read on!.......Dec 18, on page 229. This story is still full of sad people, and sad events, in what sounds like a beautiful landscape.......Dec 20, on page 313, still sad, but now has a bit of a science fiction twist? I'm not sure what to think of this book.......Dec 23, I only have a few pages of this galloping sad story to finish, and I think I am beginning to see the point of it. Wonder if I am right?.....(later on).....well it didn't directly go where I thought it was going, but it was implied. After all of the above, I have a smile on my face!
