This book is about hope and wanting love to overcome all and the human spirit. My heart swells a little just thinking about it. Ishiguro has a style which makes you work a little as a reader but the rewards are worth it.

Thanks for the suggestions. I am stuck with nothing pleasing me in the way of novels, lately. Maybe this will help.

I love that Callum is so enthralled by TKAM! And I can’t tell you how envious I am about your letter from Madeline L’Engle!! Have a think about your favourite and come back and share (especially if it’s something fun – I obviously need help in that area).

He loved it so much that he read ahead and now he’s done while all the others are still reading. He’d spent some time with a judge friend of ours and is now ALL OVER the idea of law and Being a lawyer. We’ll have to watch and see where it leads. I loved A Wrinkle in Time when I was growing up too. All of her books really. I once did a report on Madeline L’Engle in 5th grade, and wrote her a letter and she wrote me back! Could I pick a favorite book now? Hmmmm…not sure about that. But I do tend to avoid the dark ones! 😉
