Runaway: Stories

One of my best friends bought this book for me and, as you know, when someone buys you a book, it's kind of a recommendation, so I began. Let me start off by saying that February was a very wet and windy month. I had some quiet time at home for a couple of nights when the entire family had flu, which I somehow managed to avoid, so I took advantage of the quiet time, with the wind howling and the rain battering the windows. And that's when I got into this book. There was something quite magical about it, and I was pleasantly surprised to find myself drawn right in to the characters and their relationships.

The stories all have in common the idea of the passage of time and looking back at stories of love and broken relationships with hindsight. I think I'm at the right age for that kind of story as I find myself looking back at my own timeline often and wondering how my kids will look back on the the here-and-now when they're my age.

So, thank you for a great book Maria Cristina!
