so-so3 ⭐This book seems to start in the middle of the story. It‘s about a young teacher who has a new assignment and she‘s going to go teach school in the middle of the Amazon. One night the rain is coming and destroys all of her books and the community helps create new ones out of cloth and embroidery. And she realizes that these books are just as important as the books she had used before. The story is nice and interesting however, it is very long.
So far, I'm confused and intrigued. On page 75. Stay tuned
pickI resisted this for some stupid reason, I was recommended to read this by a dear friend and I told her I would think about it. Instead, I inquired with Libby as to availability. In fact, I felt rather guilty that I displayed such a lack of enthusiasm to my friend that I immediately requested eBook and/or audio.
The audio is fantastic! I enjoyed this so much!! I laughed, I cried, I wanted to hug all the characters 🤣

so-soGreat concept- messy, execution. Wanted so much more than I got here, which is disappointing although I shouldn‘t have been surprised based on reviews I‘d read in advance.
Not loving this book, am loving this quote, perhaps because I‘m nostalgic for the classroom
so-soIt was okay. I think the character actions could have been stronger. Once Juila and Isobel exhausted their list of potential solutions to their problems, the next thing they do is... shopping and yoga therapy?
But I do like how their characters changed towards the end, particularly Julia caring for her kids. As a young adult I probably feel sadder for Jamie than Kathleen West intended 😂
pickI quite liked this. It was slow moving (as gothic stories tend to be), but the end definitely caught me by surprise! The book was from multiple different points of view: Clare‘s, Georgie‘s, and Harbinder Kaur, the main detective on the case. I was least interested in Harbinder‘s POV. Cont in comments...
