Marylou Rhodes Recenzje 9

Solid read. Made me call my dad. I'm gonna go cry again byeeee T-T

The characters had a genuine sense of hope, raw emotions, and vitality. I particularly admired how the author struck a balance between the beauty of human connection and tenacity and the brutal realities of illness.

She writes with such sincerity that it feels like she’s confiding in you personally. Every page overflows with emotion, and even through the toughest moments, you find yourself rooting for them.

Superb experience, for working with Marylou Rhodes!

She writes in such a genuine way, as if she were sharing a personal tale with you. Every page is filled with so much emotion. Even in difficult times, you can't help but support them.

I think Rhodes has created a kind of unique ""magical realism"" that makes the modern person go back and LIVE the life in 50s! I mean this is something not every writer could do. She is wonderful in transforming the imagery and the rawness in front of your eyes. Highly recommended of course.

You can tell Marylou Rhodes understands emotion on a deep level. Every page feels lived-in and sincere. By the end, I just sat there thinking about how far we’ve come, and how stories like this remind us of the strength that’s always been there.

I normally read light fiction, but this novel drew me in. The time period, the difficulties, and the victories all seemed so genuine. Rhodes is a gifted storyteller. Hats off to the courage.

As a teacher, I'm constantly looking for books that use the actual experiences of historical figures to help pupils comprehend the past. That's precisely what Frank & Lucy do, they are approachable, sincere, and passionate. Mary Lou Rhodes vividly depicts the polio era in a way that is both profoundly emotional and instructive. My pupils were able to relate to the characters, pose insightful queries, and perceive history as relatable rather than impersonal. This book encourages empathy, resilience, and introspection in addition to providing information. I will continue to suggest this type of tale year after year.
