Rhetorical question, right!
As the bookmark quotes, "Reading gives us someplace to go when we have to stay where we are."
This dual time-line gem took me from Manhattan, NY & California to Vienna, Austria & Auschwitz in search of art---all in a 24 hour period, no less. A hidden masterpiece novel as it is dubbed. A warm read when it is -8˚with wind chill.
A big thanks to friend, Dixie, for the recommendation.
It made staying put a lot easier!
