Welcome to Litsy!

I‘ve never read Simenon before, and this sounds different than most of his books. I appreciated how he handled the darkness lurking under this 50s suburban couple, but Nancy‘s reactions didn‘t seem believable.

Steve & Nancy set out from Long Island to pick up their kids at camp in Maine. But Steve keeps stopping in bars leaving Nancy in the car. She gets fed up and decides to find a bus, but Steve picks up another passenger: an escaped prisoner.

This week‘s #bookhaul! I had to pick up the UK Lessons before BD shut down. Such a better cover! I also picked up Sorry (another great cover) and I‘m a Fan, too. #BuyBuyBD I‘ll miss you! 😢

Had to go back to the NYRBs at the library. V picked over, but I got the tagged book. 👍🏻😁

I can‘t wait to read Hijab with everyone at #CampLitsy23, and I picked up Ascension from the longlist at the library!

3⭐️ I thought I would be reading about husband & wife drama, set in 1950s... you know, something like Revolutionary Road. Well, there are some quarrels there... and then, enter a fugitive from Sing Sing; and I got a good, disturbing read 🥰 I love Simenon for his details. This is my second novel of his, and I have 9 more (all are NYRB Classics) in my stacks 😑
