Lots of lessons here about life and dealing w/ ones own pain, how the effort to protect oneself has impact on those who would love you, Not a happy tale but lots of redemption and reminders, Beautifully writtenI liked it a lot, It is hard to describe this book, except that it is about grief, family, and what might have been, It is a quiet book bittersweet, but satisfying, easy, quick read of sadness, loss and redemption, Nothing Special having the hardest time getting into a book right now so
I rereading the Hunger Games series again, Love those!!!!!
This book was just ok I kind of liked the premise, but it didn't really go anywhere, I didn't really care too much about the characters or the story, There were, however, some interesting side stories interspersed throughout,
A thought provoking, profound, intelligent, thoughtful book, This book is like reliving the life of your grandmother, They don't want to talk about the hard parts, but when you witness them and they finally open up, the pieces fall exactly where they should to give that person clarity.
We don't spend enough time talking to our grandparents, Or asking our parents some of the hard questions, But do we really know the life they've lived Or only the life they've portrayed This is a book about the hard things in life, Couldn't put it down. Just wish there was more to the story, This is my favorite book by this author, Good characters and plot. I loved this quiet story of loss, contemplation, and forgiveness, Jean Witherspoon is content with her life, She's not exactly happy, but being happy would mean she would also have to suffer pain, And Jean put her painful experiences away a long time ago, closing herself off to deeper emotions,
Jean was born to a Cherokee mother and a blind father, both of whom died before she was fifteen, She carries that grief inside, but chooses to focus on her nearly fifty year marriage to her husband O, T. It is not without heartache, For the past seventeen months, O, T. has been living in a nursing home, after a stroke and broken hip, Jean visits daily, helping O, T. with eating, and savoring the moments of clarity when they can converse, One day however, Jean's tidy world is turned upside down when she finds out that a woman has been visiting O, T. , claiming to be his daughter, After O. T. dies, Jean learns more than she ever imagined possible about this woman, about herself, and about the missing pieces of her relationship with her husband,
This is a true gem, It's difficult to convey the depth of raw emotion conveyed in the writing without making it seem too maudlin, which it definitely is not, Lynne Hinton has a beautiful way of communicating exactly what her characters are thinking and feeling, without wasting a single word, The reader feels a part of the story, experiencing everything along with the protagonists, Most readers will relate to Jean on some level, The grief and loss she has undergone has caused her to close herself off, When she finally makes a breakthrough, she handles herself with a surprising grace, What takes place in the novel will resonate with readers and cause them to examine their own lives,
I have read most of Lynne Hinton's other books and found The Last Odd Day her best to date, She has a gift for depicting female friendships in a realistic way, and showing their growth and development even in light of hardship, Although this is a fairly short novel, it's not one to be consumed in a quick gulp, but rather to be savored and pondered, I didn't love this book or hate it, It was a pretty good read but sort of boring, Different Odd little book. Not a bad book at all, Liked the main character very much, She a very resilient soul and I loved the idea that some things don't have to be some one else's fault some things just are the way the are.
Not my favorite Lynne Hinton book but it's still worth a read, I really appreciate the strength of the heroine in the story, Jean Clover was born on a mountain to a blind daddy and a mama steeped in sadness, O. T. Witherspoon came along and if he didn't exactly sweep her off her feet, well, Jean knew she would be leaving that mountain behind forever for a life maybe just removed from that long history of creeping sadness for a life full of children.
What Jean learns is that life is not what anyone expects it is full of odd events and small, unforeseen details, When O. T. dies, Jean is forced to dig into a past she thought she'd left behind forever and makes a stunning discovery, Forced to reckon with a
legacy she didn't know existed, Jean finds a friend the last place she expected, A novel of faith and faithlessness, heartache and forgiveness, The Last Odd Day is ultimately a story of strength and endurance, It is also a tale of the surprisingly delicate beauty of intimate relationships, as we follow one woman whose world is falling apart and watch as she slowly repairs it.
