This has been such a good reading year for me.
Add to my list of great books of 2007: Lori Lansens', The Girls.
This novel is the surprisingly beautiful and poetic story of Rose and Ruby Darlen, the oldest living craniopagus (joined at the head) twins. It is, quite literally, about the things real and otherwise that join us.
I finished the novel last night and feel like I've said goodbye to an old friend. It is highly readable. Brilliant, even. I'd heartily recommend it.
Before I even finished it, I decided to get a new copy for my BFF's Maman. I often pass along excellent reads to her at Christmas time.
So, imagine my joy when I discovered a hardcover copy of the novel on the bargain table at Indigo. Price tag: $9.99. It's worth every penny of its $34.95 list price. Believe me. It's unforgettable.

I was *just* thinking this morning about how I need a good book to read... I'm done my last book, "Late nights on air" - very good by the way. So anyway, maybe I'll go pick up this one! Thanks!
