Cusk looks at the consequences of her divorce for both her and her children immersed with references to biblical history and the myths. About redefining what it means to be a woman and a mother.

The story follows Carol who is struggling with the aftermath of a traumatic event that has left her grappling with grief and the profound emptiness it brings. When Carol‘s ex-husband shows up at her office with yet another trauma to add to her plate, they escape on a journey of the past and healing of old traumas. The level of love and forgiveness throughout these pages is heart wrenching. The storyline is unique and the character growth is strong

I think I would have enjoyed this so much more when I was first divorced, over 20 years ago now. I loved the questions, quotations, and chapter titles. I especially loved the chapter, “It gets pretty woo here“ about the idea that children get to choose which parents they'll be born to.

The boy has joined Cubs which runs for an hour and a half. This means an hour or so of reading time. Not sure the light will hold out too much longer though. I'm excited to dive into this book - set in Ireland during the 90s. Can't believe the 90s is now historical!!

Oh my. I appreciated everything about this book. Smith walks us slowly through her experiences of discovering her husband‘s infidelity and the resulting processes involved in moving through her life as her image of family changes. I really liked the way she physically structured the narrative, her poet‘s ability to phrase something, and the questions she asks throughout the book. I couldn‘t put it down.

lil1inblue Great review! Stacked! 3mo
BarbaraBB Wow what a review. Stacked ❤️ 3mo
Suet624 @lil1inblue @BarbaraBB I was really surprised by the reviews on Goodreads. They seem to take less of a kind view of the book. No matter. I was impressed. 3mo
kspenmoll Wonderful, thoughtful review. I have this-now I need to read it! 3mo

My friend needed notecards so into a bookstore we go. Of course I just had to buy books. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Lenz‘s Substack always makes me chuckle so I grabbed that one. Both books seem to center around the same theme and I‘ve gone through my own midlife extravaganzas and sadnesses, divorce, and finding my own life direction, but it‘s always good to see how others have handled it.

BarbaraBB Both seem good, I haven‘t heard of them so look forward to your reviews! 3mo

I loved this so much more than I thought I would. Another impulse buy at Costco because it had summer in the title. It had a Finlay Donovan vibe but not murder, more the banter and the balance between hard truths and laughter being the right medicine for most of what life throws you

Tamra Yay for impulse buys! 3mo
