   Lark Rise to Candleford. A Trilogy par Flora Thompson (atimco)

   atimco: Both stories are semi-autobiographical and tell the story of a young, sensitive girl coming of age in a poor community.

    La couleur de l'eau par James McBride (iMagic)

    iMagic: My all time favorite book. A must read. Ruth McBride was a force to be reckoned with. Raised 12 phenomenal children. One of them wrote this book about her life as the daughter of an orthodox Jewish rabbi who later married the man who taught her how to live.
