Rules for Moving | Nancy Star
3 posts | 4 read | 1 to read
From bestselling author Nancy Star comes a deeply moving novel about the truths we hide from others and the lies we tell ourselves. To the outside world, beloved advice columnist Lane Meckler has all the answers. What no one knows is that she also has a secret: her life is a disaster, and it's just gotten worse. Her husband, whom she was planning to leave, has died in a freak accident. Her six-year-old son, Henry, has stopped speaking to everyone but her. Lane's solution? Move. Growing up, that was what her family did best. But when she and Henry pack up and leave, Lane realizes that their next home is no better, and she finally begins to ask herself some hard questions. What made her family move so often? Why has she always felt like an outsider? How can she get Henry to speak? On a journey to help her son find his voice, Lane discovers that somewhere along the way she lost her own. If she wants to help him, she'll need to find the courage to face the past and to speak the truth she's been hiding from for years.

This book wasn‘t at all what I expected, but re-reading the blurb I think that‘s my fault! Lane‘s husband dies in a freak accident and she has to find a way to continue forwards with her six year old son, who has stopped speaking.

I imagined this would be about the hows and whys of the accident but instead it‘s an exploration of how family and their actions can shape us for the rest of our lives.⬇️

squirrelbrain ⬆️ It‘s a gentler, maybe more conventional version of this book. (And that isn‘t intended as a criticism; I think I actually enjoyed Rules for Moving slightly more) 5y
