From deep within this old growth forest, a six-year-old girl appears. Speechless and alone, she offers no clue as to her identity, no hint of her past. Having retreated to her western Washington hometown after a scandal left her career in ruins, child psychiatrist Dr. Julia Cates is determined to free the extraordinary little girl she calls Alice from a prison of unimaginable fear and isolation. To reach her, Julia must discover the truth about Alices pastalthough doing so requires help from Julias estranged sister, a local police officer. The shocking facts of Alices life test the limits of Julias faith and strength, even as she struggles to make a home for Aliceand for herself. In Magic Hour, Kristin Hannah creates one of her most beloved characters, and delivers an incandescent story about the resilience of the human spirit, the triumph of hope, and the meaning of home.

This was a solid read. It kept me interested and rooting for the characters. The end was tied up a little too quickly with a too easy bow, but otherwise, this was enjoyable.

A gut-wrenching story about love, loss, and redemption. Hannah writes such beautiful characters that I always fully invest in and this was no different. Beautifully told and a winner in my book!

I‘ve said this before, but I have a love/hate relationship with Kristin Hannah. I like her stories, which is why I return to her every couple of years, but her writing…ugh! Makes me eye roll every time. 🙄
Does anyone else feel this way? I feel like I‘m really in the minority here.

This was a great story about a feral child and the small town she suddenly appears in. It was a little slow at times and both of the sisters, the main characters, are somewhat annoying initially. But, they both grow and become better versions of themselves (police chief and child psychologist) as they try to understand who the little girl is, what happened to her, and help her re-enter the human world. Well done!

Magic Hour is my pick for #1 this year.
Sadly a lot of books I read were just okay, hopefully next year is better.
I‘m in a bit a reading slump right now, I think we just have too much going on with the holidays.
66 out of my 50 goal though is not bad at all.
How‘d you guys do this year?

Heart wrenching, beautiful, number one book of 2021.
A young girl shows up in the town square of Rain Valley. She is quickly known as “wolf girl” but when nobody can figure out who she is, the chief of police calls in a professional. The story takes you on a magical journey and shows you the true meaning on love.
My heart was pulled out and stomped, ripped to shreds, & glued back.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

@julesG Sorry this is a bit of chiselling – because the book above that #iSpy a butterfly 🦋 on, I don‘t own that book anymore. ☺️ I already have passed it on to the next avid reader.

(I searched all the covers on my shelves. No butterfly was to be found. 🤷🏽‍♀️)

Boys, girls and Littens, I have no overview who played already. So I‘m blindly picking … @Mogoeg @Lisas.Library – do you spy a cover that consists of only 2 colours❓

julesG That's a pretty cover! Thanks for playing. 4y
Buechersuechtling @julesG With that cover, it was a bit that one classic game. I stepped into the bookshop saw the pile with Kristen Hannah‘s books, didn‘t know any of them, but knew, that I wanted to try this author‘s stories, picked this book, saw the cover, I thought: “Oh, that‘s pretty!” and took it home with me‼️😂 4y

Even Ellie, who‘d lived here all of her life, was awed by the sudden change of weather. It was Magic Hour, the moment in time when every leaf and blade of grass seemed separate, when sunlight, burnished by the rain and softened by the coming night, gave the world an impossibly beautiful glow.

This is one of the most emotional books I have read. The last part of the book was rough to read, I am now an emotional mess. I have just discovered Kristin Hannah, and this is only the second book of hers I have read. Does anyone have a suggestion of which book of hers I should read next?

Ein liebevolles Buch, das sich besonders am Anfang viel Zeit für die Figuren nimmt.
Man weiß sehr schnell, wie sich die meisten der Handlungsfäden entwickeln werden, aber das Lesen macht trotzdem Spaß, weil die Geschichte schön erzählt ist. Hinzu kommen die sympathische Kleinstadt und die plastischen Landschaftsbeschreibungen.

Gemütliches Lesevergnügen, das ich, einmal begonnen, nicht mehr aus der Hand legen wollte.

Buechersuechtling Was ich mir im ganzen Buch allerdings nicht angeschlossen hat, ist, warum „Das Mädchen mit dem Schmetterling“ als deutscher Titel gewählt wurde. Nur wegen dem Schmetterlingskuss❓ Das finde ich, falls es so ist, etwas dünn. (Gut, das englische „Magic Hour“ ist auch nicht viel besser.) 5y

Ich hoffe, dass ich in diesem Buch jetzt endlich mal wieder ein bisschen weiter und zur Ruhe komme, nachdem ich am Freitag einen mittelschweren Autounfall hatte.

Ich und meine Nerven, wir haben inzwischen echt die Faxen dicke. Und der Mann meines Vertrauens auch ein bisschen.

Moony 😱 Ich hoffe doch dir ist nicht passiert. Autounfälle an sich sind ja schon schlimm genug, aber der Papierkram ist sehr nervend aufreibend. 5y
Buechersuechtling @Moony ?? Doch, schon. ??‍♀️ Dankenswerterweise ist mir deutlich weniger passiert als mir hätte passieren können. Aber mit meinem Prellungen und Verstauchungen „darf“ ich mich wohl doch noch eine Weile rumärgern. Dementsprechend bin ich zur Zeit auch krankgeschrieben. Ich fühle mich gerade wie mit 80. Wenn ich mich bewege quietscht, knirscht und knackt es überall und weh tut es auch noch. ? 5y
Moony Oh nein! Dann ganz viel gute Besserung und Erholung! 🛀🧚‍♀️ 5y
Buechersuechtling @Moony Danke. ? So ein heißes Bad wäre super. Leider hab ich aber keine Badewanne. Deswegen tut es eine heiße Dusche auch. 5y
