Yes, I have been reading all summer and Ive been very lazy keeping track. Hadnt read anything exciting enough to mention but just finished Turtle Valley by Canadian author, Gail Anderson-Dargatz and I must say it was a great read. The story -- of love and land and memory - is propelled by the progress of a forest fire that sends flames raining down from the hills surrounding the peaceful and secluded Turtle Valley. Disillusioned with a marriage that has been severely tested by illness and exhausted by the demands of care-giving, Kat returns to her childhood home with her husband and young son in order to help her aging parents prepare to leave. As she sorts through her parents belongings and wrestles with the question of what to save and what to leave behind, Kat finds in her grandmothers tattered carpet bag a clue to a decades-old family mystery involving the disappearance of her grandfather, John. I cant wait to read another of this authors books.
