Zegeningen av Anna Quindlen
Aardig boek over de jongeman Skip Cuddy, die onverwacht voor een pasgeboren baby moet zorgen. Skip is door de bejaarde Lydia Blessing aangenomen om voor haar uitgebreide landgoed te zorgen, ondanks dat hij juist bijna een jaar achter de tralies heeft gezeten. Hij woont boven de garage in een klein appartement en vindt op een ochtend een baby in een doos. Hij weet het meisje in leven te houden en doet er alles aan om haar bestaan geheim te houden. Als Lydia midden in een onweersbui wakker wordt van blikseminslag waarbij er een kleine brand ontstaat, zoekt zij in het donker naar Skip om haar te helpen en komt achter het bestaan van de baby. Dat maakt haar leven gelijk een stuk avontuurlijker. Samen proberen ze het meisje verborgen te houden voor de buitenwereld. Lydia gaat nadenken over haar eigen dochter en over de dingen die zij fout heeft gedaan in haar verleden. Maar zoals meestal, kom er een tijd dat alles uitkomt. Geen topper maar aangenaam lezen.… (mer)

A beautifully written, heartbreaking book. Annie dies on the first page, yet never has there been a character so lovingly rendered and so utterly, achingly alive. Annie wasn't particularly special in any way on the surface, but as the impact of her death reverberates through the lives of her husband, her four kids, and her best friend Annemarie, the intense loss of this quiet good woman brought me to tears. Every person whose life she touched in the long-term care home where she worked, all the beneficiaries of her quiet generosity, the joy she found in just being -- the ripples were immense. One doesn't have to be famous or loud to make a massive impact. One need just be kind. Thank you, Anna Quindlen, for yet another masterpiece.… (mer)
Lots Of Candles Plenty Of Cake is an absolute gem of a book. The author, about to turn 60, puts together a collection of essays looking back at the lessons she's learned throughout the years. She sprinkles it liberally with appropriate quotes from various brilliant minds. The quotes are a nice touch, but not really necessary. Because frankly, Anna Quindlens's own observations are amongst the most brilliant in the book. Not to mention funny, touching, inspirational, and often downright moving. Congratulations to Anna Quidlen for a life well spent ! Can't wait for the "to be continued"...… (mer)
