"The World That We Knew" by Alice Hoffman

A brilliantly written story in a fairy tale, historic setting. Alice has a different way with words. She writes really well and has beautiful characters and scenery. When I read this book, I felt pulled in and saw it all. Creativity is one of her strong suits. I love the way she created another and how that creation helped save a life or more.

Instead of carrier pigeons, Alice creates a story where a heron carries messages to one particular couple. It's magical!

I highly recommend you pick up a copy of this book. You will enjoy it tremendously.
