Yeah Sarah you might like Sweetland b/c it’s a bit like a Maine island I’m sure. Love the book covers too!

Yeah you might find it too slow-paced Kathy. But it is a gem in ways.

I might try Sweetland, given your glowing review. That island description reminds of Monhegan Island in Maine except that there are 40 year round people.

Thanks for sharing…and for visiting my blog.

Yes Brian: I think you nailed Sweetland on the head. It’s the perfect plotline for a good character study. He’s out there all by himself. You might like this one. I found it quite interesting

Ha TJ — that cracks me up! Not sure how we’re reading the same books but it’s good to compare notes on them! I will look to see how you like Sweetland.

Thanks Carmen, this book has a couple rough horse scenes (abuse of the animal) but also a few beautiful ones as well. I liked its Western setting.

The idea of the last person hanging on in an abandoned community sounds so poignant. It also sounds like it could make such an interesting book.
