Welcome to Litsy!

What a poignant story observed, felt & told by nurse Bernadette. Themes of insecurity, belonging, difference, respect, motherhood, love, suffering and more are covered. After 40 years spent with a First Nations community of British-Columbia islands, she is leaving for retirement. Manuel through a simple style, embroidered with legends and characters that I felt authentic moved me to tears. #ReadCanada 4/13 #BritishColombia #SummerBookSpinBingo2020

« Because the truth, as Nan Lily said, was found in circles. »

I ? the many referrals to the spiral of evolution ?in the story as well as in the Nautilus Shell pictured on the cover of the book.

“ Each morning, I walk the short perimeter of my island and listen for the stories in the wind and the water. “

Up to chapter 10; really enjoying it ❣️

“ ... It‘s a turritella shell. To remember Esther.
- That‘s a good way to keep her memory. You need things like that. Things that keep you floating when you are heavy. “

I so enjoy when the book title is weaved directly into the story ❣️

Really enjoying the writing and story line of this one, as if yet.

Now on to this one for my 4th book of #ReadCanada #BritishColumbia

As I review the 4th cover and read the author‘s note, I am hopeful once again 🙂 #BookMagic

My #fridayreads and the 2nd from my #20booksofsummer list.

Great book! It's an interesting outsiders perspective of a First Nation community. But also a great story about family, love, and loss in all its variations and complexities.
