Margaret Renkl’s reflection on the seasons reignites our sense of wonder.
As I was reading the last chapters of this book, a gentle rain was falling on the colorful fallen leaves outside my home’s office window. The sound was comforting. It offered an autumn concerto as dusk’s fading light would soon turn to darkness.
Perhaps, I was made more aware of the world outside while reading this enchanting book, for I reveled in the connection with the magnificence around me.
