Beagle![]() ![]() Just as I instinctively liked Joanna and Abe, I found myself not trusting the mysterious Lioness she was just too manipulative for me, her sweetness and tragedy seeming too contrived. Until it wasn’t, which is what led to my disappointment. It was a relationship to make a reader smile and nod. Their relationship was so comfortable and genuine, that perfect mix of trust and intimacy…seeming to be what couples should aspire to. ![]() My favorite was the gritty and fiercely independent Joanna, followed closely by her gentleman friend of many years, Abe. They are neither all good, nor all bad, making them relatable and realistic. I was entranced by the characters in Summerlong, all of whom are complicated and well drawn. ![]() Beagle definitely delivered, but in one major way, I was left bitterly disappointed. Beagle’s newest book prior to its release! I sat down to read with very high expectations, and Mr. ![]() So, you can imagine my delight when I was given the chance to read Mr. I liked it then because it had unicorns and magic, and I liked it when I got older because of the underlying theme of liking yourself as you are, and not getting trapped by vanity and a quest for beauty. One of the first movies I can remember being enamored with as a little girl is The Last Unicorn, which was based on the book by Peter S. ![]()
