Even So by Lauren B. Davis

January 17, 202217 Comments

Lauren B. Davis is one of my favourite authors; she consistently challenges and engages me with her books, and her latest is no exception. Even So explores the "challenge and necessity of loving difficult people," something we can all relate to. As Lauren says in the introduction to her novel, "it's relatively easy to love … Continue reading Even So by Lauren B. Davis

The Grimoire of Kensington Market by Lauren B. Davis

December 13, 201833 Comments

I read The Grimoire of Kensington Market a few weeks ago, and am only just now getting to write about it. Fortunately, it doesn't seem to be the kind of book that fades quickly. The images I took in as I read are still dancing around in my head. In the meantime, I've also had … Continue reading The Grimoire of Kensington Market by Lauren B. Davis

The Radiant City by Lauren B. Davis

Yet another wonderful and gripping book by Lauren B. Davis. I have read The Empty Room, Our Daily Bread, Against A Darkening Sky, and now one of her older novels The Radiant City, and I have loved them all. They are each filled with darkness, hardship and sadness, but with completely different stories and characters. … Continue reading The Radiant City by Lauren B. Davis

Against A Darkening Sky by Lauren B. Davis

September 10, 201536 Comments

I have mentioned before my love for The Empty Room and Our Daily Bread. With this book, my admiration for Lauren B. Davis continues... I don't think I have ever read a book quite like this one before. It takes place in 7th century England, so long ago that it's hard to imagine what life might … Continue reading Against A Darkening Sky by Lauren B. Davis

Our Daily Bread by Lauren B. Davis

February 20, 201410 Comments

This is the second book by Lauren B. Davis that I have read recently, the other one being The Empty Room, which I read for my CanLit Project.  Both books are written about very tough subjects, but they have both managed to suck me in and not let me go until the end.   I … Continue reading Our Daily Bread by Lauren B. Davis

The Empty Room by Lauren B. Davis

January 14, 20146 Comments

The Empty Room is about a day in the life of a woman who is in denial about being an alcoholic.  I thought it was bravely and wonderfully written.  I was really taken into Colleen's world and could imagine how hard it must have been to be her.  I felt for her, but at the same time, sometimes I didn't … Continue reading The Empty Room by Lauren B. Davis

The next book that I've chosen for my A-Z CanLit project is the newest book by Lauren B. Davis, The Empty Room.  I feel as though I should read her first books first, but sometimes it works just as well to go backwards.  Here are a few things I have learned about Lauren B. Davis, … Continue reading Lauren B. Davis
