Gloria, this books sounds wonderful! I felt that range of emotions while reading A Man Called Ove. Have your book clubs read that one?
Thanks, Gloria, for the recommendations. You and your book club read some very interesting books. Have you tried audiobooks? I listen to them in the car, while doing housework, and at night when I can't sleep. It really increases your "reading" time.
Your description had me asking how does it end? Great review and synopsis, Gloria. Keep them coming.
No spoiler in your review. Thanks
Shari, yes one of my two book clubs read A Man Called Ove, and I bought his next book "My grandmother asked Me to tell you she's sorry." I haven't gotten around to reading that yet because I have so many other books to read.
Grace, I belong to two book clubs, and yes they do choose some interesting books to read. I seldom am in my car long enough to listen to a book, and I prefer to hold the book in my hands and go back to check on something if I'm trying to remember what happened earlier. I
don't have an e-reader, either. It's why my house is filled with books. :-) And I can share
my books with friends as long as they return them which they do. I'm sort of like a library that way. I just finished Louise Penny's latest book, and as soon as I see my sister, I'll be giving it to her to read. I always write my name at the top of the title page.
Elaine, I didn't want to give the ending. You have to read it to find out, and I'm sure you would enjoy it even if it isn't a mystery.
Warren, I'm glad you appreciate that. I know you'll love the book.
it sounds like an interesting read, Gloria. Good review.
Thanks, Margaret. I think you would enjoy it.
Sounds like a delightful book, Gloria.
One thing I like about book clubs is that they have me reading things I might not otherwise even pick up.
My book club is going on a "field trip" to hear Laura Lippman speak, so we read one of her Tess books. I'd never read any, despite her being a fairly local author for me. Her books at set in Baltimore. I worked in Baltimore for a while, and knew some of the neighborhoods in which she set some of her scenes.
I'm now going to work my way through all the Tess books.
