![]() ![]() The book's masterful illustrations were based upon the several gardens at the Lake District estate of Fawe Park, where Potter spent the summer of 1903. In 1903, Potter and her publisher decided her next book should be less complicated than her previous productions, and in Benjamin Bunny she created a simple, didactic tale for young children. ![]() In Benjamin Bunny, Potter deepened the rabbit universe she created in Peter Rabbit, and, in doing so, suggested the rabbit world was parallel to the human world but complete and sufficient unto itself.

So overall, didnt love this as much as the first two books for various reasons, but there are still some good qualities about it. the atmosphere is definitely the shining star of this. it also continues the excel at the dark, gothic, bloody vibes that i have loved since the first book. its an apt conclusion and one that suits the characters and their storylines. based on what i started to remember from the previous books, the ending to this is really fitting. ![]() That being said, i still really like the concept/idea of the story. felt a general disconnect with the characters and story (see point one), as well as with the writing (see point two) ![]() this book is way too long with such slow pacing and nothing happening in a span of 300 pages Least favourite book in the series for the following reasons: - too long between books and didnt feel like doing a reread, so completely forgot what happened in the previous book, and there are no little recap points to jog the readers memory in this at all ![]() ![]() ![]()
![]() ![]() "…some things can’t be repaired, they can always be remade into something better.” I am left wondering what the private eye number asked for would be used for if the author will continue the storyline in another book just for Jared? I LOVED Leo and thought he was extremely well written. Overall, I loved this story truly an impossible read amongst a lot of the same old stories out there these days. The story does include cheating yet that isn’t the basis of this story and the author throws in a very, very, good reveal and will spin everything you know up to that point on its axis. ![]() Our heroine tries to scare her husband into caring/noticing her and his reaction shocks her and this reader. ![]() The author writes the heroine’s day-to-day very well as we get to know her married girlfriends and a younger man named Jared who’s very interested in Lila. ![]() Because if he won’t do it, then they only person who can fix this pain and make me happy again is me.” I think it needs to snap once and for all. I can’t keep hanging on by a frayed thread. From the first page, her cries for any sort of reaction from Leo that he cares that their marriage is sinking is heartbreaking. The story is about a wife and mother of two, Lia who has been married for ten years to her husband Leo. Her writing is solid, sexy, and suspenseful.

It was recently announced (in March 2019) that this book is being adapted into a limited series on Netflix. Netflix’s All the Light We Cannot See Movie Adaptation I easily forgot myself in carefully memorized streets of Marie’s France and in the tweaks and tinkering of Werner’s radio. With All the Light We Cannot See however, the book has a lyricism that made me swept me along. When I read, I have a tendency to pull myself out of a story repeatedly because I’m constantly trying to look at it with a critical eye. None of this, however, detracts from the fact that this really is a lovely and really enjoyable novel to read. I have such a huge backlog of fiction set in WWII because so many books are set in that period, and I tend to want a break from it after reading one. It also has to be said that I wish writers would back off of using World War II as a setting for their novels.
