My mom and my grandma read A Train to Potevka by Mike Ramsdell and they both thought it was really good...
Thanks Michelle. I've never heard of it, but I'll look into it.
Okay so I know my last post about my mom and grandma reading in might have given you some doubt about the book so I looked it up on the authors website and it says:
Set in the backdrop of the chaotic, volatile events in Russia at the end of the Cold War, A Train To Potevka will take you on an incredible, winter's journey across Great Mother Russia along the 6,000-mile Trans-Siberian Railway. This fascinating story about an American intelligence agent from a small town in the Rockies is a tale of failed espionage, escape, and survival.
A Train To Potevka is a story of sacrifice, hope, and second chances. It is about love of family, home, and country. Most of all, it is a testimony to the basic goodness of man and the compassion and concern of a loving God.
This national best seller is a feel-good story for all seasons and for readers of all ages.
75 out of 86 reviewers on Amazon gave it 4-5 stars!
But if you are looking for something different we can always save it for later...I am up for reading ANYTHING!!!
Michelle it really does sound great. I'm going to post a 6 month schedule and chat time for the HBG's here soon. I'm hoping to get a little more feedback first! Thanks for your help.
this sounds like a good one. I also love the jane austen stuff, Jane Eyre, Gone with the wind would be a good 2 monther. and if we do that, then we need another 2 months to do Scarlett, the sequel. Les Miserables is the 2nd best book of all time, but that would probably be a 3 monther.
maybe you shouldnt ask me, as all the ones i pick are ridiculously long...
i vote no on the Poisonwood Bible. that was an Oprah pick that was woo-wooo weird
