Eva Moves the Furniture by Margot Livesey

TITLE:  Eva Moves the Furniture
AUTHOR:  Livesey, Margot
GENRE:  Fiction

DATES READ:  5/25/2014 - 5/28/2014

MY RATING:  2/5

I saved this book from a mystery stash of books our family received from a friend.  I hope it's promising because I'm still a little shaken by The Fault In Our Stars.  Here goes...

A book is always promising before you turn the first page.  This book turned out to be a little "meh".  I didn't really feel a high connection with the main character, which is huge for me.  However, I understood and was drawn to where she was coming from.

The pace was overall slow, and the themes strongly surrounded loneliness and maternal abandonment.  I was a little difficult to get through at times, but the author depicted all emotions well.  I loved the idea and addition of ghosts in this lonely girl's world.  I almost found them reminiscent of imaginary friends.

I would recommend this book for a rainy day, and a warm cup of tea or cocoa.

Will read and write soon!
