Book Review of The Magic of Ordinary Days

The Magic of Ordinary Days


Visually descriptive and entertaining writing based on Colorado's history, its terrain, and farm life during WWII. Could identify easily with Ray and Livvy's struggle to get on with their lives after feeling they'd made a terrible mistake that changed their lives forever.

Found Ray, the bachelor farmer, and his sister Martha, cast perfectly for the movie. Most of the script in the movie deviates from the book -- probably not a surprise.

This was a great book to read while sitting out on the deck on a beautiful summer day.
