February by Lisa MooreMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book held me prisoner, or should I say captive. Not often (if ever) has one book raised such emotions. It was like the feeling in the pit of your stomach after you have had a good cry, but are still in the throws of the upset.
Helen is 30, has three children and is expecting another baby but is not aware of it yet. Her husband died in an terrible storm while working off the coast of Newfoundland.
The writing is uniquely different. I couldn't place it at first, but I think you might say "eastern Canada". Its beautiful and it takes you right away into a different world and culture, which you become part of. You are with Helen, and her sister Louise, every step of the way.
