Harry's Trees by Jon Cohen

5.0

I read Harry's Trees a few months ago and absolutely fell in love with it. Set in the forests of Pennsylvania, it is the story of Harry, Amanda, and Oriana.  It's  a feel-good story of healing, of coming out on the other side after profound loss and grief.  What I truly loved about this book was how it felt like a fairy tale for grownups. I don't personally regard this as a fantasy novel - there is nothing that happens in this book that couldn't happen in real life - but the story is laced in magic and enchantment, and it filled me with childlike wonder.  The writing is just exquisite.  For those of you who are nerdy like me and love when librarians show up in books, I have great news for you:  This book features Olive, the spunkiest librarian ever who will have you laughing out loud at her feistiness. I fell in love with her and her library.  This book is one of those rare treasures that will make you feel a whole range of emotions - I laughed out loud, I weeped, I was filled with wonder, and I positively didn't want it to end.  Harry's trees gets 5 big, magical stars from me. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
