It was such a fun read and we both love Southern Fiction. I believe Karen has narrated at least one other of Sarah Addison Allen's novels. They would be a nice place to start with Karen.

I agreed and think that those people who will appreciate this book the most wouldn't think about it the same way that I do. I'm glad to not be in that position myself. That being said, Elizabeth Gilbert exhibits way too much self importance and that has nothing to do with that damn book! I wouldn't have liked her before Eat, Pray, Love. I can honestly say that I would like Isabel Gillies. That's the difference.

I made it through Dreamers, but I couldn't get through Doc because it was so dry. A Thread of Grace was very different, though--beautiful and heartbreaking all at once.

I haven't read that Mary Doria Russell novel. I have only read one of her books, Dreamers of the Day. It was okay, nothing to write home about really, so I never picked up another of her books. I'll add this one to my TBR, though. This book is definitely right up your alley. I haven’t read that Mary Doria Russell novel. I have only read one of her books, Dreamers of the Day.

I wish this book had more buzz. I'm not on the interwebs 24/7, but I can't remember hearing anyone else talk about it. I really enjoyed it. You are most welcome! I wish this book had more buzz.

It made me want to go to Tuscany for the first time. Italy has never really appealed to me before. This is definitely a WWII unique to my experience.
