The Wisdom of Sally Red Shoes by Ruth Hogan
4.0
Another wonderful, colorful, and character-driven novel by Ruth Hogan!! I'm going to follow her now because her writing brings me such joy. Her prose is vivid and controlled!! I went through many emotions - but not extremes.
This story starts a bit slow but the ending just left my jaw hanging! Love all the tiny bits of history woven thoughtfully throughout the novel.
I love love 'Sally' - from her potty mouth to her indelible read on ppl! Masha wasn't my fav character but by the end of the book, I see her role in the novel for what it is worth. I personally don't know a Masha (at this moment) but I know ppl like Masha throughout my life. Alice could have been ripped from the headlines of any paper on the planet - and I bet there are more Alice's out there than we know.
What the real wisdom is - life is no joy ride, never promised and just get on with it!!
Highly recommend!!
