The Chocolate Lady (94 KP) rated A Tale for the Time Being in Books
Oct 5, 2020
When I reviewed this book in 2013, I said that if you read only one book that year that this should be the one. In fact, it got the #1 spot on my “best of 2013” list. My admiration for this book has not faded, and I included it in my seven-day book cover challenge here on Facebook recently. You can find out why “A Tale for the Time Being” by Ruth Ozeki is so special from my review here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2014/05/06/a-novel-that-sweeps-in-like-the-tide/
