I am sooo bad with books that have no punctuation... It does facilitate reading to have some , and . and !. However, like the part about it being from a Christian viewpoint - too few books have that these days so that sounds interesting!Willahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01901628974325954428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-79848708576164272862010-09-21T11:09:00.842+01:002010-09-21T11:09:00.842+01:00I think I just had a similar oh-gosh moment, becau...I think I just had a similar oh-gosh moment, because I never realised that Delius wrote about his own mother..

I've been really curious about these Peirene books, which haven't been published in the US (not sure there are any plans to release them here?). In any case I requested that my library order them and they kindly did--so I have all three checked out at the moment and am planning on starting with the Barbal, but of course am looking forward to them all!Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06415242678720695754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-22962834008619624292010-09-20T03:26:32.464+01:002010-09-20T03:26:32.464+01:00I've read such positive reviews all over on th...I've read such positive reviews all over on this book.
