Our Endless Numbered Days by Claire FullerMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Whoa...I didn't expect the ending to this novel at all! It actually threw me for a complete loop. After I started to read Our Endless Numbered Days, I decided to look at some of the reviews that other people had left about this book. There was a lot of positive ones, but at the same time there was a few negative/poor ones, including about how they thought the book was poorly written.
I have to disagree, I thought it was written very well, it held my attention and made me want to continue reading to find out what was going to happen. The mixture of the chapters in the present when Peggy is returned and then the chapters telling us her story was quite cleverly thought out, each one flowed easily enough and didn't get confusing at all. As well as that, the details of the writing, the descriptions of everything which happened was clear in my mind as I read the chapters.
It's a novel that I know, without a doubt, that I will be picking the book again in not to long of time to re-read again. It's full of adventure of Peggy's travel's with her father and the wonder of living of the land and almost not gathering enough food to pass the winter through. It's quite easy to think of time just passing them by, only being noted by the rise and setting of the sun each day until she finally leaves and the last of Peggy's story is told.
It's a book I would recommend to anyone.
