Kate’s 2¢: “Book of the little axe: a novel” by Lauren Francis-Sharma

“Book of the little axe: a novel” by Lauren Francis-Sharma

Kate’s 2¢: There is a plethora of in-depth biographies of authors and reviews of their books, that state the title, author, published date, and genre; as well as,     describing what the book is about, setting, and character(s), so, Kate’s 2¢ merely shares my thoughts about what I read.  I’m just saying…

   I really enjoyed this story. Grove Atlantic Publishers has a winner. Here are a few “take-outs”:

–When you come to understand men, you will understand you isn’t one of them.

–To lose you’ life, is to know no greater sorrow.

— No man can live outside of manhood.  What the world thinks manhood should be.

–Only your rules are in the way, not my abilities.

–You’ll never know the worth of water ‘til the well runs dry.

–Sometimes, it’s just evil looking like a man.

   As you read this story, keep track of the locations and particularly the dates of each section, so , you don’t get lost.
