He talks to her about his unsettled feelings about his life in the commune and speculates about what his life could have been like. They are the same age and spend time doing chores and roaming through the woods. It's a small commune but there is a surfer, a Vietnam deserter, a Grateful Dead groupie, a midwife and most important of all, Blue's best friend Harmony. Goji, the leader of the commune looks after everyone's well-being. He feels part of this commune and loves the members as his own family. He has lived in the Saffron Free Community since he was 3 and doesn't remember anything about his earlier life.

Believe me when you I tell you that this is a MUST read.Īs the book begins, Clover Blue is 10 years old. I had a major 'book hangover' when I finished and haven't been able to start another book. When I finished the book, I set it down and then the next day re-read the last 50 pages. I read the last 50 pages very slowly because I wanted to stay with these characters as long as possible. I laughed with them and cried with them and understood their feelings about the outside world.

I felt like it was the 70s and I was living in a commune with all of the people who lived there. A free book was provided for an honest review. Clover Blue is one of those books.Īmazon affiliate links are used this site. Very, very rarely is a book written that consumes you totally and makes you feel like you are part of the story.
