Book Friday – Courting Emma, Sharlene MacLaren
24 July 2009
I recently read Courting Emma by Sharlene MacLaren and loved it. (I think I start out every Book Friday with a variation of this sentence. From here on out, let’s just have an understanding that if I’m talking about a book on BF, it’s because I think it’s worth talking about.)
My friend, Roseanna, loves Sharlene and kept telling me I needed to pick up one of her books. I wound up with the third in the Little Hickman series, though it’s so well written I didn’t even realize this until I was halfway through the book. Emma is a delightful, yet heartbreaking narrator and reading her journey was definitely an experience. When I finished Courting Emma, I felt mildly depressed all afternoon, but I couldn’t figure out why since the book has such a wonderful, satisfying end. And then I realized that I missed Emma and Jon.
That takes a skilled writer. I will definitely read another Sharlene MacLaren book!
See? I told ya! And actually, I guess I told anyone who read the back cover. =)
