Book Reviews of The Scent of Water
Book Review: A Magical Story
Summary: 5 Stars
Over a period of 20 years I have read and re-read this book many times. It meets the true test of a wonderful book because it never grows tiresome. Instead, each re-reading is a new entrance to a magical world that seems to transcend time. As I read the book, I almost forget who and where I am, entering into Miss Elizabeth's magical kingdom. I am never sure which character I identify with more, because I love almost everyone in the book. I seem somewhat unable to describe how her writing moves me out of the present reality into her own world of children and mental illness and groundedness, but it does so ever so enchantingly. As I move forward and back in time within the book, I too discover the scent of water and move out on living water.
