Life, Loss, and Puffins by Catherine Ryan Hyde is beyond profound. It is a story and a philosophy of life all rolled into one glorious novel. This reviewer had to read it twice, it is so DELICIOUS!
Two ‘throw-away’ kids seek their own path. Brave enough, even though Ru is very young and ‘freakishly smart’ and Gabriel wears eyeliner and nail polish, they navigate a harsh world to follow a dream…to see, in person, the Aroura Borealis. Driving from California to the Arctic Ocean with hardly enough gas money, much less food and lodging … the trip is no easy feat. And as they drive they form an unbreakable bond, or so Ru believes.
I recommend readers find a quiet space, a warm drink at hand, and their
COMPLETE ATTENTION. This is no ‘puff piece’. It delves into what we as humane beings, might believe or not believe. It will draw you in like a wisp of smoke until you are caught and then evaluating your own beliefs. But, please, don’t be put off by this….it’s a charming, heartwarming, lovely story that you will love!
THIS IS A MUST READ!
