review 1: I was hoping that it was written more like a narrative, but instead it is several very short stories of objects within her home. Each one though gives you a brief snapshot of her life and places and experiences she's had. Some are very touching and thoughtful. It makes me look around the room and wonder what stories are tied into the little items tucked in cornors, or random things tacked to the wall or stuck to the shelves. Someone may walk in and think "Why is there a penny taped to the light switch?" :)
review 2: With the recent passing of my grandfather I felt compelled to read this book. I could relate to it...how certain "objects" around your house can hold secrets & tell a story. I've aquired a lot of my grandparents things that have wonderful, funny &... more sometimes crazy stories attached to them. Now I can pass those memories on & keep the stories alive. This book, though extremely unique...resonated very heavily with me & I felt it very calming to read the stories about these objects because my family was doing the same thing. less
