Book Favorite

"Niedecker lived most of her life in Blackhawk Island, a remote and marshy setting in Wisconsin, where she scrubbed hospital floors and cared for her deaf mother while writing some of the most quixotic, minimalist, moving poems of the 20th century. I know many by heart, like this one: “My friend tree / I sawed you down / but I must attend / an older friend / the sun,” but I still wouldn’t want to be without the hard copy."

3.5 stars.

I became a fast fan of Maxon's mother in The Selection trilogy so the chance to read her story and how she won her husbands heart was a big YES!

I liked reading her Selection and how she went about it, believing in herself. I also learnt a few things I didn't know about her like how long she'd loved the Prince.

If you're a fan of the series then you'll probably enjoy this.
