Initially I was all out to get Tolstoy's 'Anna Karenina' for some serious reading but this little gem caught my eye....
Here is the description of the novel, 'Befallen Ida Maclaird - she is slowly turning into glass, from the feet up. She returns to St Hauda's Land, where she believes the glass first took hold, in search of a cure. Midas Crook is a young loner, who has lived on the islands his entire life. When he meets Ida, something about her sad, defiant spirit pierces his emotional defenses. As Midas helps Ida come to terms with her affliction, she gradually unpicks the knots of his heart, and they begin to fall in love...What they need most is time - and time is slipping away fast'.
I have yet to finish this, but I love it more and more and I believe it is a must read. It is tragic, beautiful and at moments funny. I recommend you read this.
Well I've alays prided myself that I am not one to judge a book by it's cover or title for that matter, but i must say that both are pretty damn wonderful! I think i have heard of this book before but i am yet to read will add it to the list. Thanks for the recommendation. How is the house thing going? Cheers from OZ Katherine
