Book 46

A Thread of Grace by Mary Doria Russell.

This was recommended to me by my good friend Christine along with the last book I read, Year of Wonders. If you're wondering why my pace slowed so dramatically with these two books, it's because the reading was so, so heavy.

While both were impossible to put down and really well written, captivating stories (I loved all the characters in both books), I can't decide if I loved the stories or hated them. And maybe that's the mark of a good book. They have stirred such emotion in me that, well, I don't even know how to verbalize it until I've had more time to process. I highly recommend both.
