Yikes!  Book Club is next Monday!  I'd better get busy!


     Fascinating story of World War II in the walled island city of Saint-Malo off the coast of France.  A blind French girl, a brilliant orphaned German soldier, a lost treasure that possibly carries a deadly curse!  What's not to love?  Beautifully written.  I felt somewhat like  Marie-Laure in that my mind, my eyes could not picture the city in which the story takes place.  It sounded so mythical that I had to google it to see if the city really exists.  It does.  And that is part of the later story.

  1. Thanks, Jennifer! I worked last night on a review for Etched in Sand. Interesting that, well past midnight, I foggily remembered the steps required to post! Of course there were a few missteps along the way. I'd better be more consistent in my posting so that I don't have to call you regularly for re-training!
