readoodles 's review for:

The House with Chicken Legs by Sophie Anderson
5.0

So much to ponder as I read this book: destiny, identity, life, death, rebirth, alone and loneliness, relationships, regret, expectations, disappointments. I loved traveling today with Marinka on the House with Chicken Legs.

A favorite quote (p. 241) "Baba used to say it's not how long a life but how sweet a life that counts, and I think maybe the same is true with friendships. I'm not sure how long I will get to spend with Benjamin, but I will appreciate the time I have. I wish I had appreciated the moments I had with Baba more. Nobody is yours to keep. Nothing is forever."
