Really good book!
Funny this book showed up here today, as I had already planned a trip over to B&N to buy it! I loved "A Year By the Sea"........felt a little sad when it was finished. Then I saw Elizabeth Gilbert on Oprah......and thought..Wow! Yes, have to go get this one!
Can't wait to dive into this delicious read this afternoon!
