Name That Book!

This is a place to find forgotten book titles. Tell us about book you want to remember and we'll help you find the title. Describe the plot, characters, writing style, themes, and the time period you read the book. Describe the cover or pictures if that's all you know. Make your post titles useful and include at least one detail you remember. "A book I read" is too vague; "A story about love and loss and airborne terrapins" is more helpful.
