Absalom's Daughters (p. 176)
   - Suzanne Feldman

She looked out the window and noted with surprise that the trees were covered with blossoms, so thick and white they shone in the dark, lit by the passing train. To regular travelers this might not be remarkable, but only yesterday afternoon, in Porterville, the flowers had been frail and rotten, falling to the ground. Fresh white blossoms rushed past the train window, a second chance at the change of the season.

What's Next, Wednesday (23)


  •  To play along share a book you've been looking forward to reading, whether it's new or has been on your reading list for a while.


I'm looking forward to...

Absalom's Daughters by Suzanne Feldman. Two half-sisters embark on a road trip set in the 1950s. They're travelling to claim their inheritance while dealing with the racial tones of the time period. The description of this book promises beautiful prose and magical realism while sharing the sister's coming of age.
