Retta Lee Jones has just graduated high school and is ready to strike out on her own and make a name for herself as a country singer. Unfortunately, the road to Nashville is filled with obstacles both financial and parental. Once Retta arrives in Nashville she faces a whole slew of unexpected challenges - homelessness and rejection. She makes some interesting new friends as she navigates the country scene. Retta is a character you will cheer for even if you don't love country music.
This book has a special place in my heart. The illustrations and the language go perfectly hand-in-hand to tell the story of a gardener named Evan who goes through his own personal rough patch as he mourns the death of a friend. It's about love, grief, loss. It's about giving yourself time to heal and knowing when to start anew. It's about new growth. It's a lesson and reminder to all of us who have ever been in or come out of a rough patch.
One of Ishiguro's earlier works and the one that made me read all the rest. Like his later novels, this book guides the reader through a worried but ordinary mind in extraordinary circumstances. An aging and pensive Japanese artist kneads his faulty memory to recollect and justify his life and decisions before and during WWII. Put some time aside to read this one slowly and well!
