Welcome to Litsy!

A 1.5 hour audiobook, written in museum display format of a woman‘s lifetime. Kitty was originally from the collection of her parents but then transfers to her husbands‘ collections. This is repeated at the beginning of each chapter which makes it a tedious audiobook listen, so perhaps this would have been better in print. An original concept but not as impactful for me, likely due to the length and format.

Loved this even if it took a few pages to get the rhythm. Very clever in a good way, quite funny too. Definitely recommend if you love art museums, WASPy culture, and quirky styles of novels. 👏
(Also a terrific option to read to up your book count 🤣)

Clever format. Read in an afternoon.

A really short & clever read, Coulson‘s whole novel is formed by wall labels found within a museum and ‘revolves around the life of Kitty Whitaker as she is defined by her potential for display and moved from collection to collection through multiple marriages‘
