Welcome to Litsy!

Ruth and Dolly are sisters who grow up living out of their unstable alcoholic mothers station wagon. They are subjected to extreme neglect. The only bright spot in their lives are the stories they make up to get themselves through. These poor girls lives were a total mess and the writing was pretty disjointed at times. It did have some imaginative and interesting bits that kept me reading but over all this was mehhh. #ReadingUSA2019 #California

Reading this feels like being roped into sitting through a sales demonstration for a product that I don't have money or a use for .. Interesting summary and intriguing prologue. At 60% of the way through I am still waiting for the story to get back to the character and timeframe that lured me in. 😒

This multigenerational tale will make you laugh and leave you aching. Ruby explores relationships between mothers, daughters, sisters, and lovers in a net that weaves in elements of folklore and legend. Really well done.
