so-soLast one of the 6 books I had of hers. Again not my favourite. I think the Pilots Wife that I read years ago was the best for me. I learnt that she had died in 2018. But she has left a legacy of writing that is full of great descriptions and a fluency that is a delight. I probably won‘t read anymore of hers but glad I‘ve had a go at 7.
Love that she writes so well about New England.
Sometimes I am not quite willing to let go of a book...even though I've set it aside. I've written a blog post about it: https://theludicreader.com/2020/06/04/i-just-cant-seem-to-quit-you/
pickLoved it! Maureen and Harrold are married journalists who seem like the perfect couple, but Harrold is abusive. After a terrible beating, Maureen takes their baby daughter and runs, landing in a small New England town. It was a great story, told from the perspective of several characters. I found parts difficult to read, but it‘s not a graphic book just very uncomfortable at times. Beautifully written, I would absolutely recommend.
Once you tell your first lie, the first time you lie for him, you are in it with him, and then you are lost.

Probably 15 years ago I worked with a girl who said she had read the best book ever. I convinced her to lend it to me (proceeded to keep it, I‘m so sorry) and agreed. It was The Last Time They Met by Anita Shreve and it blew my mind. I haven‘t read a lot of her other books because they might not stand up to the pedestal that one is on, but this one is amazing. I‘ve been in a book finishing slump but I‘m coming out!
so-soThere was nothing in particular wrong with this book. The story kept me reading but it wasn't enthralling.
New day, new book. Lazy Sunday morning with my cute little buddy 😻, while the other half is in bed sick 😯. #nationalcatday #catsoflitsy
