The Winter Children Written by Lulu Taylor

I listened to the audio version on CHIRP.
At times both warm and chilling, will surprise you right up to the end. Multiple stories all revolve around an old castle. A great listen.

Dad by Steven Manchester

 




Fathers and sons, complicated relationships at best, searingly painful at worst. Three generations of Fathers and sons work through significant milestones in their lives. I enjoyed immensely the chance to look inside the minds and hearts of these three men. Having never been a man, I value highly a chance to experience how they think and relate to one another.

A rich, wonderful, sometimes painful, but very satisfying read!
