You will feel that you are living in that time and that place. He can put you in the country through description. McCormick can be, as he is in this book a very descriptive writer. ![]() YOU CAN'T TELL WHAT IS IN A COUNTRY LIKE THAT UNTIL YOU ARE DOWN THERE IN IT.

The Red Garden by Alice Hoffman5/29/2023 ![]() Hoffman allows readers to see at this point, that what you may believe about someone is often messed up with white lies as well as outright falsehoods. Hoffman introduces you to the town’s founders in this one, but focuses on a woman named Hallie Brady. “The Bear’s House” (5 stars)-We found out that a town formerly named Bearsville, was founded in 1750, but changed it’s name to Blackwell in 1786. ![]() Readers get to find out what was buried there and the ties that the Brady, Partridge, Mott, and Starrs all have the oldest house in town as well as to the red garden. The biggest tie is that a garden that was started by a woman named Hallie Brady has soil that is red and anything that blooms there comes out red too. I do wish that a family tree had been included so you could follow those you read in the stories and trace their antecedents. The flow between chapters is great and sometimes a person you read about as a child appears in a short story later. ![]() Mixing in historical incidents as well as some magical realism, the town and the residents feel like a very real place after a few chapters. Taking place in a small town in Massachusetts, Alice Hoffman follows the town founders and descendants of Blackwell, Massachusetts. So this was a really great book to choose for the Sleepy Hollow square. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() If we make any material changes to this Privacy Policy, we’ll notify you of those changes by posting them within the Services or by sending you an email or other notification, and we’ll update the “Last Updated Date” above to indicate when those changes become effective.

Though he presents himself humbly, Harrer (author of the 1953 classic Seven Years in Tibet) is clearly remarkable: a celebrated Austrian mountaineer who escaped a British prison camp to enter Tibet in 1944, he learned the language, developed a friendship with the Dalai Lama (then a teenager), worked on the country's reforestation and helped build Lhasa's sewer system. ![]() This collection of 200 photos and thematically ordered essays conjures up life in an isolated, innocent Tibet before the Chinese invasion of the 1950s. ![]() Bluets nelson5/28/2023 ![]() ![]() looks sideways at her heartbreak, allowing for moments of piercing clarity as feelings come into focus.
