On the 7th day of Christmas my LitPig brought to me ...
SEVEN KATE ATKINSON'S
SIX UNSUED COOKBOOKS
FIVE CRIME FESTS
FOUR DAVID MITCHELLS
THREE MARGARET ATWOODS
TWO HOMER SAGAS
and
A BOX SET OF ROALD DAHL BOOKS
Each day I want to share the writing of an author that I read for the first time in 2011. These are my personal choices - you may know many of them, but perhaps one or two will be new to you ... So why not try a new author in 2012.
July 2011:
ANITA SHREVE - Light on Snow
Anita's exquisite prose is mesmerising - the quality of her writing is something we all should aspire to. This is a gentle story of a father and daughter who find a baby in the snow. The baby's mother arrives into their lives and slowly the history of all the three main characters unfolds. This is told from the 13 year-old girls viewpoint and is sometimes painfully sad, yet still ends on a hopeful note. You really do feel you are immersed in a North American winter. A truly beautiful book.
