A Piece of the World

4.5 stars. I loved The Orphan Train and, happily, I enjoyed this just as much. 'Christina's World' is a work of art that has been made more special to me after learning the story behind it. I don't know that I particularly liked Christina, but at the same time I felt a deep connection to her. We can all be tied to anchores and while some are able to pull themselves free, others let it pull them under. I think in the end Christina found her world and, I hope through it all a bit of contentment. My recommendation... grab a blanket, a cup of tea and enjoy this beautifully poignant novel.

Glad to hear it, Lori! She will be in person in Greenville, SC March 21 to discuss. Contact Fiction Addiction Book store you if you want to attend. I already have my ticket.
I also really liked this one. I have seen the painting Christina's World so many time and didn't have even an inkling of the back story. I really enjoyed learning more about it, even if it was historical fiction. Glad you enjoyed it as well!
Great review, Lori! Christina's characterization is definitely the strong point in this story, both relatable and not!
