Her mother had what sounds like post-partem depression after Trudi’s birth. Trudi, the main character, is a little person. The writing really isn’t supposed to pull the reader out of the story, but I just couldn’t help myself. I admit, I was reading the book as a writer and not as a reader. Hegi does! She deftly weaves phrases of description into sentences in a way that you hardly notice. Oh, to be able to write descriptions like Ms. It wasn’t long before I was captivated by her prose. I decided to start with the first novel in her Borgdorf Cycle series, Stones from the River. (And if you think I shouldn’t have ended that sentence with a preposition, I’m excited to tell you that I recently learned that “rule” is now just a “guideline.” Look for more on that in a future blog post.)Īfter reading Stella’s blog post, I wanted to read something by Ursula Hegi. I don’t abide by the rules that book reviewers adhere to. I just enjoy sharing my impressions of the books I read. It was that blog post that nudged me to read Stones from the River.
My fellow blogger, Stella Maud Maurer ( ,) wrote about author Ursula Hegi a couple of months ago. From a review, I can be fairly sure a particular book is or isn’t for me. Their reviews often pique my interest in books I might have otherwise overlooked. I enjoy following the blogs of book reviewers. It made such an impression on me that I decided to write about it today and share my thoughts on the other books I read in January in next Monday’s blog post. I finished reading Stones from the River, by Ursula Hegi a few days ago.
