Welcome to Litsy!

I thought this would be an interesting social commentary, looking at a time when divorce was not widely legal, forcing women (of means) to live in Nevada for a short time to “establish residency,” then finally be granted their divorce. But I got through about 25% of it and it‘s like watching paint dry. Back to the library it goes!

3.5 ⭐️ This is literary fiction that has historical fiction sprinkled throughout it. Beaird utilizes imagery of 1950s Reno that is intoxicating. The book, especially the pacing, reminded me of an old black-and-white film. There were moments in the book that needed further development and depth. Ifyou enjoy slow-burns with moody, light mystery overtones, you‘ll likely enjoy this book. Full review: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/127306119
