Lake McDonald looks ravishing, Susan. Thank you for sharing these beautiful pictures.

I love your review of ‘Everything I Never Told You’. I love how you have written about everything that moved me. I am sure I will keep an eye out for Ng’s next book. 🙂

And, you inspire me a lot with your love for cycling. 🙂

In reply to Judy Krueger. Wow that's quite a memory Judy. It's neat you remember it so closely. Glacier is a quite magical place. We've been there twice now and the landscape is just spectacular. Your fish story though is even better than ours.

In reply to Judy Krueger. I was hoping too that Lydia would make it at the end. Thanks Judy very kind of you to say. I just sort of whip something up about the book -- that's at the top of my head. But how can one do a good novel justice?! It's hard eh?

Oh, I forgot to say that Glacier is probably the best place I have ever gone. It was 46 years ago on my honeymoon with my first husband. I still remember everything that happened in great detail. We were driven into the back country where we camped, did a 14 mile hike to a lake, caught fish, came back and fed almost the whole little campground. It is a magical location.

The book was so sad. It made me so sad for all of them. My reading group also had a good discussion over it. You write wonderful reviews.

In reply to Ti. Yes! I agree. They put a lot of pressure on the girl but didn't discuss things within the family. I also think there was Hope at the end of this book.

Yes! What you said there at the bottom. If only they did this and this! So true. I wanted them to just sit their butts down and have a discussion as a family but of course that never happened. If they just SPOKE that would have been helpful. A few in my group felt that at the end, the entire family was doomed. I didn’t get that from the ending. I felt as if they realized where they went wrong and that maybe there was time to salvage relationships with the last two kids.

In reply to Ann @ Books on the Table. I agree Ann. Our book group had a great discussion on this book too. It's an excellent book club book as it raises so many issues and it's done so well.

I think Everything I Never Told You inspired one of our book group’s best discussions ever. I feel like sometimes our discussions focus too much on the issues raised by the book, rather than its literary quality — this book was perfect for book groups, because we spent a lot of time on both.
