I’m disappointed to DNF this one. I really thought I was going to like it based on all the highlighting I did in the first few chapters. But mid-book I just fell out of the story. I never DNF this late in a book but I couldn’t push on anymore.

This was a sweet, quiet novel about a woman who stumbles upon a pottery workshop one day, and through learning to make vases, cups and dishes, rebuilds her life after years of sadness and depression. At first I had a little trouble keeping the characters straight—too many with names starting with an H—but once I figured that out I flew through the book. Such a delightful tale!
