A book review

Well, it's not a normal review...but I read this book and it made me think of a few of you. The book is called:

Still Life With Chickens
starting over in a house by the sea
By Catherine Goldhammer.



It reminded me so much of a few of my fellow bloggers.

First it reminded me of dawn and I truly hope she reads it, if she hasn't already! She just moved to a new house, to start a new life with her daughter (that includes chickens and perhaps a son or two) and that's what this book is about.

Then it reminded me of Fiwa. She just told me that she found out she can have 3 chickens where she lives. I hope she goes for it! And I know Fiwa loves and appreciates a good book! I hope she reads this one too.

I also thought of Sis when I read this. The relationship between this writer and her daughter reminded me what a good mom Sis is! She's a reader too, I think, and she would like this book.

I loved the way this book was written. It was like sitting down with Ms. Goldhammer and chatting over tea. I think of Ruth every time I enjoy someone's writing skills. I wish she'd read it too.

Another good mother who works hard at her relationship with her daughter is Cheryl, so I thought of her when I read this, too. She's a reader and I think she might like this book.

Anyway, this book was good, short and sweet and made me feel good. I like books like this. It only took me a couple hours of reading, altho it was a few days before I finished it. I've been so tired lately from all the work ...here at home and at work... and since I read at night when I lay down to go to sleep, when I'm tired, sometimes it's all I can do to read one page! Actually, it was one of those books that was almost too short. I didn't want it to end. I wanted to read more about the life Ms. Goldhammer and her daughter made in their little cottage by the sea.
