RELEASE NOTES:

At Roberts Hall,UMF

Nice surprise! I caught this book on the third floor of Roberts Learning Center, down the hall from my office. I think my wife will enjoy it. I wonder where it's been the last 7 months...

My wife's rating. While she found the book to be very sad, she thought it was well-written with interesting characters and it held her interest throughout.
Note: The cover of this edition differs from the one shown here.

Ticketed to be mailed west as a surprise RABCK to fulfill a Cliff1976 list request.

Mailed today from Augusta, Maine to Idaho as a surprise RABCK.

Found this one in my mailbox today. What a terrific suprise! Thanx for the RABCK!!

For me this was a marvelous read. I really got involved with the characters and found myself riding that emotional roller coaster more than a few times.

Back Cover: From the highly acclaimed, award-winning author of Floating in My Mother's Palm comes a stunning novel about ordinary people living in extraordinary times.

Trudi Montag is a Zwerg -- a dwarf -- short, undesirable, different, the voice of anyone who has ever tried to fit in. Eventually she learns that being different is a secret that all humans share -- from her mother who flees into madness, to her friend Georg whose parents pretend he's a girl, to the Jews Trudi harbors in her cellar.

Ursula Hegi brings us a timeless and unforgettable story in Trudi and a small town, weaving together a profound tapestry of emotional power, humanity, and truth.
