Iād love to re-experience a few classics again for the first time as an adult, including Jane Eyre, To Kill A Mockingbird, and Their Eyes Were Watching God. (I know, it was supposed to be āa book,ā but I couldnāt limit myself to just one.)
I actually DID āread again for the first timeā a book from my childhood that I never knew the name of. I spent a few years finding it based on some of the themes I recalled. I loved reading it one winter as a young girl, in front of the wood stove and always remembered it. Just like our wardrobe, my sisters and I also had hand-me-down books from relatives and close friends, and I remember this hardcover book so worn I couldnāt read the whole title, knowing now it was Miracle on Maple Hill (Virginia Sorensen, 1957, Newbery Award, likely a second generation hand me down from my aunt), sucking me in, as it told a childās story of her first year living in the country, after her father returned from being MIA after WWII. It was the description of nature and the changing of seasons, seen through the main character, that kept my pages turning. Reading it again as a an adult, I was surprised with what I didnāt remember-why the family moved and how the charactersā growth moves with the change of season.
