A review by letmesleep
I Heard the Owl Call My Name by Margaret Craven

5.0

I shouldn't read other reviews before I write my own or even before I rate a book, as I tend to doubt myself and my abilities to critique a work.
I had to read this in school... possibly grade eight, which was about 35 years ago. To say I loved it would be putting it mildly. It moved me deeply. It was like poetry.
Still, I occasionally pull it out and reread it... it's a novella, so a very quick read.
When an author can couch words in such a way that they evoke a tremendous emotional response from me... well, what can I say. I'm sold!
