Done! 2.9.24

I put this book on my TBR in 2022 because it literally came across my library circulation desk two and three times a day for months. I figured that many people couldn't be wrong. They weren't. It's a charming book and I loved every minute I spent with it. Not a five star read for me - it wasn't life changing or mind altering - but it was better than a four star because it was just so captivating that the pages almost turned themselves. The story in a nut shell is three women, connected by family lineage, separated by generations, but sharing the same connection to the natural world, particularly birds and insects, using that gift to help those around them as well as each other (which was the "magic" part of things). The last line of the book was a perfect "sum up" ~ The connections between and among women are the most feared, the most problematic, and the most potentially transforming force on the planet. ~ Adrienne Rich. Yes. This.
