Pleasantly Surprised!
Revisado: 08-07-19
Ah, well-written historical fiction is so satisfying! Carrie Turansky has swept me into another world and educated me about a fascinating part of history. This book was never painfully predictable, never preachy or trite, never sappy or overly sentimental. The story was compelling from start to finish and the ending left me smiling. So nice to have a skilled voice actor to read the story, too!

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 102
An abandoned calico cat, about to have kittens, hears the achingly lonely howl of a chained up, abused hound dog deep in the bayou. She dares to find him in the forest and the hound dares to befriend this cat, this feline, this creature he is supposed to hate. They are an unlikely pair, about to become an unlikely family.

A Masterful Story
Revisado: 07-19-19
Marketed for older children, I didn't read it until I was half a century old. I am so glad I did. I encourage you to push on past the confusion of the thousand year old mystery. It will not necessarily become clear, but it will be worth it, I promise. If you wish to introduce your children to truly great literature, but they just love stories about puppies and kittens, THIS is your answer. With strong themes of love, courage, guilt, determination, ambition, and the various effects of trauma, this beautifully told story, in all of its layers, will linger with you long after the book itself is finished.

Lest We Forget
Revisado: 06-29-19
This is a great story of an oft-overlooked event in Paris history. The author does a skillful job of weaving the past and present increasingly closer to one another. The last hour feels a little predictable, but it is worth it. Great job by the reader!

Happily Surprised
Revisado: 05-16-19
I have never been a fan of romance novels, but, trying broaden my exposure to good writing--whatever the genre--I decided to give this one a try. I am so glad I did! The story moves along cleanly, effortlessly, never forced or contrived. The characters are likeable and three-dimensional, their inner workings revealed gradually, naturally. The dialogue rolls along smoothly, naturally, and the historical and geographical settings seem believable and accurate to this history teacher and national parks buff. To top it off, the reader is superb! Her range of voices is broad and her performance adds one more touch of reality to the story. Overall, it was a most pleasant way to enjoy the time invested.
