“ This is oficially one of my favorite books ever!!!
Super interesting storyline about Cambridge grad student

provoked so many interesting questions about what it means
to LIVE, how our actions effect us as people, karma,
reincarnation, our purpose. WOW! Just so awesome. ”

Review: The Withered Arm - Thomas Hardy.

“ The Withered Arm is a great witch story that makes it difficult
for the readers to decipher if there are truly any supernatural elements.
I found this to be really interesting and I like the little twist at the end
(although I saw it coming). ”
