I am not an "in bed" reader like Kathy and Christie. I can never get comfortable and I am not able to see clearly enough to read... must be 'old' age. I have however had several rather late nights lately because I have been reading books I couldn't bring myself to put down! Last night, well actually at 2:30 this morning, I managed to drag myself away from the latest Kristin Hannah book that has had me sleepless in Tunbridge.
The first one I read was 'Winter Garden'. I chose it because it was about a Russian woman who had married an American and had 2 daughters with him. Now, he has passed away and she is left,at 80+, to fulfill a promise to complete telling the fairy tale she never finished telling their daughters when they were young. Her children, now in their 40's, never had a close or loving relationship their mother, but they had also made a promise, to get to know her better and to take care of her. The journey that they take together is awesome and interesting. I had trouble putting the book down and it left me hungry for more from this author.
I just blindly picked the next one from Amazon.com's list. "The Things We Do for Love" was again about a relationship that grows and changes between a childless unhappy woman and a motherless (more or less) teenage girl. It was as good as the first one was, full of love and joy and growing, including all the pain that can involve. Again, there were more late nights.
Now I am on the prowl for yet another one....
