OMG! This was amazing! Beautiful and heartbreaking! I'm trying to read all the nominees for the Bailey's prize. Every single one has been tremendous. I wouldn't be able to choose! 😜

I usually read a mystery between my literary fiction choices. I think of them like a "palate cleanser" for the mind. This one was great! A mystery set in 1350, no electronic gadgets to use and some really grungy descriptions of life. I recommend it!

I'm always a bit behind because I prefer paper over hardbacks and e readers. I'm reading this for my book group next week and it is tremendous! I'm really glad that this was chosen. Although, I have enjoyed many of Louise Erdrich's titles, I'd forgotten the joy and sadness that I get from them.

So readable, like her best, this sneaks up on you! I cannot stop thinking about it!
