I read this book so many times as a young person that my copy was dented, torn, and pages were wrinkled from all the times I took it into the bathtub with me (I couldn't put it down). I will never get tired of stories like this- rags to riches, sad to happy, all of that. I remember reading the parts about when she'd get a fresh roll or a warm meal and I could literally smell and taste what it must have felt like after all those months with nothing to eat. Of all the books in the world that I've read in my life, this is in the top five.

Act I of a This American Life episode entitled "Loss" is a reading from this book. It's lovely and devastating all at once.

Bought this at a bookshop in the Mission. The colors on the cover are lovely, and I'm thinking of using them as inspiration when I decorate my next apartment.

It's the 1960's, and Little Finn is an 8 year-old boy who lives with his mother Gerd, in a working class area of Oslo. It's been just he and his mother for a while, since his parents divorced, and his father later died in an industrial accident. Finances were a problem, so his mother went to work part-time in a shoe store to help out. She later decides to take in a lodger for extra money and places an advertisement. One of individuals who sees the ad is Ingrid, a drug-addict, former wife to Finn's father. She has a 6 year-old daughter named Linda who seems, initially to have some sort of psychological or medical issues. "Nothing was any use. Linda would just hold a pencil and write letters and draw, the tip of her tongue hanging out of the left corner of her mouth and her cheek pressed against the paper, so concentrated that there could be no doubt that she was on a journey into a world where either a Norwegian primary school nor bewildered half-brother or step-mothers could pursue her. Linda was not of this world, one day I would come to understand this --she was a Martian come down to earth to speak in tongues to heathens, to speak french to Norwegians and Russian to Americans. She was destiny, beauty and catastrophe. A bit of everything. Mother's mirror and Mother's childhood. All over again. The last remaining fragment of that which will never vanish. God must have had a purpose with her, a secret plan --but what?" Before long, not only will Finn and his mother have a lodger living with them -- a man named Kristian, who has a fascination with words and numbers. His half-sister Linda also moves in with them as well. Finn is intrigued by the new lodger who spends a lot of time alone in his room. He brought along a television when he moved in, which is a big deal for Finn and his mother. With Kristian and little Linda suddenly a part of their lives, everything changes dramatically for each of them. Gerd sees much of her own sad life as a child through Linda. She begins to give more and more attention to Linda who has issues of her own. Despite his mother pulling away from him and to Linda, Finn is extremely protective of his half-sister. When others tease and try to bully the girl Finn intervenes. Over the course of a summer, in Finn's world he becomes witness to some real issues of adulthood. Child Wonder, is a wonderful story; it is both sad and uplifting all in one. Little Finn as narrator worked beautifully. He was extremely bright and keenly observant. I found it extremely heartfelt when he tried to take on the role of a protective, older brother. Initially, I had a bit of trouble with the translation, which slowed down the speed at which I would normally read, but after a while, I was so into the story, that I was happy for my slower pace. This is a story to savor. 4.5/5 stars

Luke Cameron, a famous Broadway director, finds a box of letter written to his beloved grandmother by her protogee, Jessica Fontaine, who had disappeared from a successful stage career after a devestating train accident. Luke reads the letters and, falling in love with Jessica, sets out to find her and return her to the stage. I was very uncertain of this book at first. I thought the author to be overzealous in her use of details. Really, who cares what Luke's butler leaves for him to eat as a midnight snack or what color place mats Luke chooses to set the table with? I almost put the book down a few times in the beginning. But when I got to the second half of the book, I suddenly couldn't put it down and I was glad that I stuck it out. The story became very compelling, the characters fragile, the writing elegant and emotional. If you can wade through the excessive details in the beginning of the book, you won't be sorry.

Read many years ago, but as a I remember a bit of a surprise ending.

Not my favorite but not a bad read. It was a little longer than necessary, though. If I run out of things to read I might pick up another one of his books.
