New name for a continue segment on Reading Rainstorm; I'll be hosting my discussions of the many pieces of local Minnesota lore and artistic vision over on my local interest blog, MSP Adventure Time! Take a look here! The entry is State Fair: The Great Minnesota Get Together, published by the Minn...
This had some wonderful bits, but at times I felt like I was slogging in the mud, wondering where I was going. The back and forth between first person and third person telling was a little weird. Despite the tragedies of life, compounded by the Depression, and the prejudice of the times, the author ...
While I can't say that I loved this book, it was the perfect thing for my sleepless night. Oh, the joys of insomnia - at least I can get some reading done in the quiet of the wee hours.Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons reminds me of reality tv...the trainwreck crazy stories you can't stop watching. ...
I enjoyed this book and the characters, but.... In my opinion there was too much; too many characters, too much going on. There were so many different outlandish things going on and over the top characters that it was hard to relate to each one. Right when I began to feel sympathy for one charact...

Loved this book! I have never even heard of Lorna Landvik but after reading this wonderful book, I'm going to look up some of her others. This was a beautiful story of friendship, family, love and experiences which all become intertwined over a life time. Great book!
