Oh she writes such beautiful, ordinary, heart wrenching stories.
Megan the MC was amazing - even though I wanted to shout loudly at her occasionally.
Finished with a lump in my throat.
Meet the Cartwrights. The father spends all his time at his job or his office. His wife spends all her time with the newest baby. They have 7 kids. Tom the oldest, who is going through some stuff. Megan the second oldest and the only girl, has been helping her mum in the house for as long as she can remember. She is tired of that and leaves for London. A story told by the father, Tom and Megan
About family and the sacrifices we make for family
When you realize that it doesn‘t matter what people wear - they are still idiots
Absolutely brilliant. Effortlesslyflowing , meandering through a few months and years and each chapter recounts a different perspective from a family member.
She's marvellous at this. 🤩😍

Having read two of her other books, I'm so pleased to have found this on 99p kindle deal.
She writes so eloquently about families and relationships. 😊😊🤩🤩
Sparse. Bleak. Unsentimental. Complex, dysfunctional characters. Realistic situations and a complicated, unsettling ending. I am here for all of it. And after three of her books, I am now an official Mary Lawson groupie. Give me anything she writes and I will read it.
How do I love tea?
Let me count the ways… 🫖🫖🫖☕️☕️☕️🥰
There is something claustrophobic about Lawson‘s stories, but not in an unreadable way. The characters spend a lot of time inside their heads, which might explain it and I do enjoy. The ending of this one is unsatisfactory and what you might expect, and for that very reason realistic. Families are messy. I really wanted one character to get his sh*t together.
I confess it took a while for me to piece together the characters are from Crow Lake.
Going to take a few minutes for myself this morning before I tackle chores & work. 😃
Yay! Thank you to everyone who participated in #myfavethingsgiveaway - the winner is @Book_in_hands ! Congratulations!!! 🤗 #giveaway #payitforward
Congrats @JenlovesJT47 !!!! My favourite book this year was Road Ends by Mary Lawson. This was a book club read and we had a great discussion on it. I loved it because it made me remember growing up in my small town and it did name towns that I visited on my childhood. It was a great read and I bought another book by her that goes with this one. Thanks for this great #giveaway!!!!
