There Are Rivers in the Sky by Elif Shafak My rating: 4 of 5 stars View all my reviews
The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway My rating: 5 of 5 stars Superb short story, bringing the brine and sweat of a fisherman's journey to the foreground. I have seen it portrayed on film many years ago, but that gives the book the wrong perspective. Here we are in the same boat, unable to help him land and protect the almost magical catch, but feeling each wave. I loved the book and gave it Five Stars. View all my reviews
