and weaves together an impressively sweet and rich tale
I enjoyed Candy Gourlay's Tall Story
—— ObserverThis is a story that is funny, sad and magical. I thought the author chose a good subject to write about because she wrote about very real emotions. She also added a bit of imagination which made it very interesting. The main characters tell the story in alternate chapters. I would recommend this book - pure brilliant!
