From back cover:
Floating in My Mother's Palm is the compelling and mystical story of Hanna Malter, a young girl growing up in 1950's Burgdorf, the small German town Ursula Hegi so brilliantly brought to life in her bestselling novel, Stones from the River. Hanna's courageous voice evokes her unconventional mother, who swims during thunderstorms; the illegitimate son of an American GI, who learns from Hanna about his father; and the librarian, Trudi Montag, who lets Hanna see her hometown from a dwarf's extraordinary point of view. Although Ursula Hegi wrote Floating in My Mother's Palm first, it can be read as a sequel to Stones From the River.

I found this to be a very enjoyable tale, though not as much so as 'Stones from the River'. It may not have rated a '10' with me, but it is definitely worth reading.

I never would've read this book if ChiBoiler hadn't given it to me. I really enjoyed it and want to read 'Stones from the River'. This was a great tale from a very spunky girl. I got pulled into the story and had a hard time putting the book down.
Thanks for sharing!
