"Peace Like a River"
Gracious, did I enjoy this book. Again, I got so swept up that I neglected to write down all of the phrases that impressed me. Sections of Leif Enger's "Peace Like a River " took me so by surprise that I actually had to reread the passages to be sure that I'd read what I thought I'd read. I might read the whole book again, and I don't do that very often anymore.
Here were the two phrases that I did jot down: ... "Once in my life I knew a grief so hard I could actually hear it inside." ...
... "The sun was out so hard on the snow I could barely look -- it was like we lived on the sun." ...
I only wish I hadn't read the dust jacket's description; I think it gave away too much.
