"Safe and Sound" by Laura McHugh - Book Review @penguinrandom @randomhouse #SafeAndSound #BookReview @LauraSMcHugh

“Folks want to think it’s strangers you gotta watch out for, but a place like this, we eat our own.” Set in a rather bleak, poor, Missouri factory town, this novel could be considered Midwestern noir.  Expertly written, it evokes feelings of claustrophobia and despondence, while at the same time you are desperately rooting for the protagonists. Amelia and her sister Kylee are underprivileged…

Another from our summer reading favorites, new from Spiegal & Grau, The Wolf Wants In, by Laura McHugh. (Read the review from That Book Lady Blog here.)

[lauranneskyy]

Do not stand at my grave and weep.

I am not there; I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.

I am the diamond glints on snow.

I am the sun on ripened grain.

I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the morning's hush,

I am the swift uplifting rush

Of quiet birds in circled flight.

I am the soft stars that shine at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry.

I am not there; I did not die.

Mary Elizabeth Frye,

"Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep"
