The Nature of Fragile Things by Susan Meissner

Happy New Year!!! May your reading continue to thrive in 2025!!! Join Kate and Sheila as they very carefully recap The Nature of Fragile Things  by Susan Meissner while striving to withhold all the plot twists and jaw droppers. This roller coaster of a read begins in 1906 just before the San Francisco earthquake. We meet a young mail order bride, Sophie. She is an Irish immigrant who answers an ad of the bereaved widower, Martin, who is seeking a mother for Kat, his 5 year old daughter. Sophie longs to have a home and be a mother. This book is unlike any historical fiction we’ve read!  “It is the nature of fragile things to break…it is also in our nature to start over after disaster.”  GloriaZ  recommended this book and The Frozen River, so far she’s been a good resource in our Quest to Read the Best!  Have a blessed day dear readers! https://www.youtube.com/@GloriaZThompson
