Welcome to Litsy!

This is a story of a family dealing with some big things which come out slowly over the course of story. It‘s told in alternating chapters from the perspective of Ernest, one of the boys in the family who loves words, and Olivetti, the family‘s typewriter. The typewriter makes for an interesting point of view, and the story includes a wonderful group of characters.

It‘s that time of the year - March Madness and reading. I always get so much read while having the games on in the background. I‘d picked this up as my mom continues to explore the more holistic approach to cancer treatment. I thought a lot of what he said was interesting but I think the chapter on faith could be problematic for some. I appreciate his messages of forgiveness and that was his experience but he shouldn‘t have pushed God so much

I loved the book and I also loved the film

I read a lot of this author's book as a teenager. I don't remember reading this one. It is emotional and telling of what a person can go through. I rated this book a 3 out of 5 stars.

A typewriter & an introverted boy are trying to find out what happened to the boy's missing mother. It has serious "Where'd You Go, Bernadette" vibes, but without the humor. I thought it was sweet & loved the theme of not assuming you know what's happening inside someone else's head. Grief & pain can elicit such different reactions from people. The various reactions shown by the family felt so real to me. I loved the story & the typewriter's POV.
