Why read it?
1 author picked The Heaven of Animals as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I recently met the author at a writing workshop. He was my facilitator—he did an excellent job! What’s more, after the week of reading and critiquing each other’s fictional stories I decided to read this book. Wow! Beautifully written. The stories are sometimes shocking, sometimes sad but always worth the time! I feel lucky to have met this author and have had him help me improve my first novel which I'm completing now.
From Martha's list on finding inspiration that can change your life.
