Frog Music by Emma Donoghue

I received this book as a Goodreads First Reads.
This is a book unlike any other I have ever read, and that is a good thing. The story takes place in the summer of 1876. In the beginning Jenny Bonnet gets shot and her new friend Blanche does some investigating to find out just what happened. The story jumps back and forth between the "present" and the "past" (although they are only mere weeks apart)intermingling the two stories as they go.
There is some French through out the book. Don't worry, the translation is in the back. At first I was annoyed by this flipping back and forth, but as the story went on I could swear I knew French. It is a beautiful story of both friendship and a mothers love. I would definitely recommend it.
