The Wisdom of Sally Red Shoes

I loved this book. It’s so creatively written. The theme is tragic, yet the characters are interesting and inspirational- including the dogs. There’s a satiric thread with occasional belly laughs.
Narrator terrific.

I love the story of forgiveness, but I guess before that acceptance. I initially thought the ending was too fast, but after setting and reflecting on it, I think it was perfect.

This was a study of character development and the performance only enhanced that. There was all kinds of interesting facts about Victorian death rites, cemeteries, poetry, opera...but it did not seem morbid or even dark. The pacing was excellent and stories developed intrinsically. The only problem - for me - was the fact that she took the obvious plot path. I kept hoping that it was going to twist away but I was disappointed. It was handled well..and expediently...but yet, there it was.

Took a bit for me to get the 3 major ladies characters straight. I did like the details of the water temperature and certain details consistently added throughout to level set the character. Interesting comparison of love and loss and the importance of relationships

Wanted at least a chapter with the final outcome
With the final characters. Not wanting to spoil it for readers. I’m a bit annoyed!

A story of depth and compassion that we can each learn something from. Do you know a Sally Red Shoes? Oh I do hope so!

Sweet story, clever writing with wonderfully lovable characters. But, why oh why, did the author think she had to include an over abundance of the “f” word? Unnecessary and distracting. Were it not for that I would recommend it to book clubs.’

Ruth Hogan's stories are whimsical, uplifting, in some parts hilarious, despite dealing w I th great sensitivitv about difficult subjects

complete waste of money & time. so boring i would have returned yet not allowed even tho been member for 20yrs
