My #midwintersolace while reading in between Christmas breakfast & Christmas dinner. A little tea and one of many shortbread cookies, a gift from my neighbor. This cookie is pistachio and delicious with tea.

An enduring poem for today. Longfellow wrote this shortly after his son was wounded in the Civil War. This war broke his heart. I am glad I read What Longfellow Heard before starting this Christmas Day novel. I think it‘ll add more depth to my reading of Chiaverini‘s book.

A side by side story of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and a group of modern day individuals involved with a children‘s choir who would be singing Christmas Bells. I have to admit I preferred the modern part of the story, but I also enjoyed learning about the origins of the lyrics to the song.

I can‘t believe it took me over a month to read this short book! I liked the story, both timelines. I love Civil War stories, I love historical fiction. But this one had a couple of slowly-paced places, and it was a chore for me to finish it.

A dual timeline my favorite being the historical one, of course. 1863 in the midst of the Civil War Henry Wadsworth Longfellow is grieving the loss of his beloved wife. This is the story behind his famous poem, I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day.

Andrew65 This sounds brilliant, stacked. 2y

I just read this book, today look what I found, the movie! Sadly, it was not in my local theater anymore but I was able to stream it. It was very well done. Perfect for Christmas time.
