Week 31 A Gathering Light

It seems unfair that A Gathering Light, a winner of the Carnegie Award in 2003, is so little known. It is a terrific book, with a great heroine, plausible and considerable conflicts, murder, love and friendships. It captures totally the harshness of life in the early 20th century for farming families in the northeastern US, and also the impact of the modern world on places that might otherwise have remained backwaters. It is a gripping and satisfying read that I cannot recommend highly enough. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Real World Radical Media Group We live in a sick and sad world, where we value only what we can see. We see others and judge without knowing. We live in a world where social class is valued more than human quality. We live in a world where books and culture take second place, where money, lust and perversions are more vital than knowledge. We live in a world where we have forgotten traditions, values and God. Listen to The Real World with Omar Oropesa.
