Finished this one on the way to work and cried on the bus. Book of the year is my prediction. So believable and so human. I ❤️ Betty. We should all try to be more like Betty. This is a picture of the creek I walk along every morning on my way to work. This book was loaned to me by a lovely friend at work, Sally.

One Hundred Years of Betty | Debra Oswald

Yeah, nah. #ozfiction I was compelled to read for book club.

CarolynM This is getting pushed quite hard in the papers, but it didn‘t sound very promising to me. Thanks for confirming that🙂 5mo

MrsMalaprop @CarolynM Yes it is getting promoted, perhaps because she‘s connected? I found it a chore and struggled with the annoyance I feel when there are so many more worthy/interesting books out there waiting for me. Some in my book club liked it. It felt like she had a list of life events that she ticked off. I didn‘t care about Betty one bit. Lightweight. (Too harsh? 😬) 5mo

CarolynM No, I don‘t think you‘re being too harsh. I enjoyed Offspring (especially because I used to see them filming while walking my kids too and from school 😆) but it was lightweight too. Connections definitely get you attention for new work. 4mo

Jeg Tried to read it but gave up. I see her partner is Richard Glover. Now I do like the way he writes and he is funny. I‘m not sure if she was trying to be funny . Certainly not worth wasting time on. Too many books and not enough time. 4mo
