Book Reviews of Praisesong for the Widow
Book Review: Journey we should all take
Summary: 5 Stars
Although this book is written in a different style than I expected.(The going back and forth between past present and future will get you lost if you're not careful)I believe it was well written and has deeper meaning, Avey Johnson goes on a cruise with friends and realizes that she's not exactly where she needs to be but finds out that she was closer than she thought. We should all take a journey of re self-discovery....remembering never to forget our roots or that we can always go home.
