Arts & Culture

I was excited to read this book following many good recommendations about it. And I was not disappointed. As I read this book, I was especially impressed by the storytelling. The choice of words always felt very intentional and was full of wisdom. While I thought that some of the characters were underdeveloped and that some of the wisdom could be confusing at times, that didn’t take away from the story as a whole.

A few weeks ago I found myself in a reading slump, and although Goodreads still has me many books behind on my reading schedule (don’t ask, it stresses me out as well), I found myself devouring a certain book I would like to recommend. As I was perusing the historical fiction section at my library, a librarian approached me and noted my interest in the genre. The librarian pulled out a hardcover titled “The War That Saved My Life” by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley and, while acknowledging that it would be below my reading level, suggested I give it a try.
