really liked it

I most be truly honest here. This is a book that I would have probably skipped right over if not for Cheri’s beguiling review. I am so grateful to have read it because much to my surprise I adored this unusual but lovely, quirky book and its characters. It left me with a warm heart and smiles. But most of all it reminded me to be a little kinder to the people I encounter ..you never know what someone is carrying in their hearts .

Ron You wrote such a heart-warming review, Linda. If a book can give us the desire to be warmer to others, then there is something special inside. I look forward to seeing for myself.

Kimber Silver What a touching review, Linda! This sounds like the kind of book I should read too. Thank you for sharing. :-)


Linda Kimber, I appreciate your kind words. I enjoyed Cheri’s review and she revealed nothing more than I needed to know.


Margaret M - (having a challenging time and on GR as much as I can) Glad you enjoyed the reading experience. Lovely review Linda 💖


Linda Margaret, I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts with me.


Antoinette Wonderful review, Linda! I agree if not for reviews from trusted friends, I may not have added it. Waiting for my hold from the library.:)


Jennifer ~ TarHeelReader I have been looking forward to meeting Marcellus all summer. So happy you enjoyed this one, Linda. Lovely review!


Linda Antoinette, I am anxious to see what you think of this on, my friend. I have the belief that books come into our lives at the right and perfect time. At least it has been that way for me.


Karen I would have skipped over this too if I had just gone by the synopsis…after some glowing reviews from others, it found it’s way to me also!
Wonderful review, Linda!


Linda Karen, aren’t we lucky to have friends that lead us to such gems? How they have changed my reading life!

Kevin Ansbro Such a lovely review, Linda!


Cheri Linda, I’m delighted to know that you enjoyed this one so much! I was so hesitant to read this one when I saw it, but am so glad that I did! So filled with charm, and a wonderfully quirky story, but also so much more!

Linda Cheri, I am so grateful that you you took the time to read it, too my friend! You certainly enhanced so many of our reading lives!

Canadian Jen Lovely review, Linda! Glad it was an enjoyable one 😊

Revellanotvanel ❤️❤️ that is great to hear (looking forward to reading it)


Linda Revellanotvanel, thank you for your comment! I hope that you enjoy this as much as I did!


Margaret M - (having a challenging time and on GR as much as I can) Excellent review Linda. I love your discovery of books. You find some little gems 💞


Jonathan K (Max Outlier) Well said Linda..Tova's compassion and positive outlook are complimented by Marcell's in spite of him being an octopus! You might enjoy "Harry's Trees" by Jon Cohen since it's an inspirational story like this one


Linda Margaret, I always appreciate your kind and thoughtful comments. I guess I am picky with my choices of books. I do rely on the excellent reviews of my friends I have found here. The fact that I lost reading time during the outbreak time of Covid has put me behind others and allowed me to be able pick what I read with greater resources of excellent reviews. I am very thankful for that.


Linda Jonathan, thank you for your kind comment and also for the suggestion of Harry’s Trees�. I will definitely follow up on that one.
