We had book club last night and have chosen The Almost Moon by Alice Sebold. The author’s name may sound familiar; she also wrote The Lovely Bones, which was very popular a few years ago and is a very good book if you haven’t read it. The subject matter is difficult, but the story is good.

This is another book that I read that is for Battle of the Books and it is so good. It is historical fiction and the author created the main character, Grace, after seeing the picture that is on the front cover of the book. The picture, it turns out, is of a little girl whose real name was Addie and she worked in the mills from the age of eight. I felt like the book started out kind of slowly, but I am glad I stuck with it. It was a good story and even more interesting once you find out the history that inspired the story.
