Love, love, love! We have been plagued by the stomach bug, and, of course, more snow, at our home; so I’ve been lazy about my entries. I read this book several years ago, Love Among the Walnuts by Jean Ferris. It was recommended to me by a librarian friend in Cambridge, MA. I found it in our library here and immediately took it home and began reading it. It was just as good as I remembered. Sandy, a wealthy boy, raised by his parents, who are madly in love, lives a secluded and wonderful life with just his parents and the two servants that live with them. When he gets older, he is forced to realize that there is some bad in the world. But, this turn of events, leads him to more love and a whole new wonderful life that he never knew existed.
This is a good Young Adult book and also a good one to read aloud for a 3rd or 4th grader. I also found it a wonderful read for me! I am currently reading Twice Upon a Marigold by Jean Ferris and have just started reading Once Upon A Marigold to my daughter. My experience has always been if you like a book, chances are very good that other books by the author will be good as well. (www.jeanferris.com)
Enjoy this wonderful book, especially as we celebrate LOVE this Valentine’s Day!
