In the Midnight Room

pick

This story is about four women who, over a number of decades, are connected through a Vegas casino. It was touching and ran deeper than I expected. And, yet again, I was impressed with how skilled McBride is at weaving complex stories together (although things did wrap up a little too neatly for me). But overall this was a great read and is worthy of more litsy love.

Cathythoughts Nice review! I have this one on kindle ... must get there. Still reading American Wife ... great storytelling! I think you found me a new favorite author š‘¨š¸»š 5y

ā€Round Midnight is emotional. It‘s mature. McBride fashions a web of deceit, frustration, unhappiness, and joy. Told through the stories of four women across generations, this is one of my favorite books of 2018. But don‘t get me wrong, it‘s not an epic. Instead it‘s four stories woven together against the setting of one crazy casino-driven city.

Laura McBride did it again and I couldn't be happier. Two years ago I devoured her debut title, shameless taken from the shelf because of an intriguing cover and then cried while shopping at Sam's Club listening to "We Are Called To Rise". I was thrilled to see a second novel from an author so talented to bring several distinct characters to life and despite huge generational time spans, intertwining their stories together so seamlessly.

1. Lilies of the Valley from my garden
2. Reading the tagged book this month for my IRL book group
3. Tickets for the dance recital of one of our granddaughters
4. Leftover shrimp scampi with GF pasta
5. Gluten Free Angel Food cake with buttercream frosting. I make cheesecake for everyone else‘s bday so it has to be something they can order for me.

Great book! Well worth reading. Great characters and I love the Vegas setting. The author shows us that there is a real world behind the dazzling lights of the Strip.

This is an awesome bargain! I read We Are Called to Rise when it came out and I loved it! This book is written in the same style but the story is about "old" Vegas.

Spent the holiday weekend completely engrossed in McBride's latest! I loved WE ARE CALLED TO RISE, and 'ROUND MIDNIGHT is just as good. Add it to your summer TBR list for sure.

I loved this book!! I won an advance reader's edition.

Centered around a casino in Las Vegas, this is a story of some very diverse characters whose lives are connected. Diverse racially, culturally, religiously and socio-economically. Such a good story.
