Da leggere d'un fiato oppure in vacanza. Tre donne diverse, molte storie diverse, molti valori e un grande amore per il Michigan e la sua natura. Un charm come augurio di vita? Perchè no? Che la tradizione sia polacca, di scoops o sfruttata dal marchio Pandora che importa? Al solito, il titolo italiano non rende, sembra il preludio a un romanzo Blue Moon ma questo non lo è. One of my reading goals for 2021 is to reread books that I gave five stars. 'The Charm Bracelet' is a book that, by rereading it is still 5-stars for me. This time I picked up to read the book through my ears. Andi Arndt is a fantastic narrator; the voices she does are very distinctive. While listening to the book, I had teary eyes. 'The Charm Bracelet' reminds me of the relationship I had with my maternal grandmother, my Nona. The first time I read the book, I had so many quotes that I liked and annotated. Viola Shipman (Wade Rouse) knows how to write an incredible book. It makes you realize just how important family is and how you should cherish the time we have with each one of them. Besides the individual charms, the stories and meanings make for such a meaningful story of a grandmother, mother, and daughter/granddaughter. I think Lolly is a sweet woman, and I like how she celebrates life even when things are hard. The charms of the bracelets all stand for an important message and moment, and I enjoyed reading about them; the charms are fantastic. 'The Charm Bracelet' is a heartwarming read; I absolutely loved this book. I know that I would reread this book. It you grew up in the 1960's you had a charm bracelet, which is what drew me to this book. However, this is a fairly pedestrian (and predictable) story of a family with conflicts that are reunited and find true purpose in life through the stories of the charms on each of their bracelets. If only life was that simple. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Have a charm bracelet myself and for the past 50 or so years I've received charms to put on for special occasions and Christmas.
Love that this story is about a whole family, a mother, her daughte rand her daughter.
Like hearing how the daughter has to deal with her aging mother and what that entails as far as health issues.
Chapters go back to when they were each young girls living in MI on the water, their lives then and the present day.
Love charms, state and it's descriptions of events and life in general.
Borrowed this book from Libby from my local library and this is my honest opinion. ( )
