Sitting Down with an Old Friend
Woman in the Middle | August 27, 2015I recently sat down with an old friend. I first met my friend when I was 13 or 14 years old. Sometimes we don’t get together for a few years, but, when we do, I love to revisit old times. This is my friend:
I distinctly remember sitting on the couch in the den of our house on Beechwood Place, finishing this book, pausing for half a moment, and then turning to page one again and staring all over. It was the first and last book I have ever down that with.
Descriptions I found online of Red Sky at Morning call it an “enduring coming of age story set in New Mexico during World War II. ” I just call it an old friend. I love it because of the way the author creates such memorable characters and settings. It makes me want to go live in a small mountain town in New Mexico.
I like to reread books, but usually, after rereading a book a time or two, I know I am done and I get rid of it, to make room for more books But this is one book I think I will be keeping for the rest of my life. When I read it again recently I enjoyed it as much as ever.
Do you have any books that are old friends, that you read again and again? I want to know what they are!
