pickSooo so good! 5 huge stars. A quiet story, for slow reading. The language was lovely and piercing, the story was captivating. It just got inside of me and expanded until I felt like I would burst. Agnes‘ grief over Judith‘s sickness and then losing Hamnet felt so real that it could have been my own grief. The ending is superb.
I can‘t recommend the audio enough on this one, especially the one with Jessie Buckley narrating. Beautiful accent!

I enjoyed this book inspired my true events. I was absorbed in the book but also I was searching for some historical events. I like the author‘s writing style. Love the cover. After I finished the book, I bought three more books by this author. Couldn‘t finish them this month but looking forward to read them later. 3.8/4⭐️

pickRome conquers the Iceni in this book and is told from the perspective of Solina (the daughter of the famous female Iceni warrior/chief/Queen Boudicca).
pickI didn‘t expect to listen to this in one day, but I was totally hooked! Taking place over 1955, the book opens just before the Mayfields host their annual New Year‘s party. Lulu spends most of her time imagining how she would decorate the empty house across the street rather than stick to the Good Housekeeping schedule like the rest of the neighborhood wives. Lulu‘s obsession with the house across the street increases when a few family moves in.
pickDon‘t mess this up for me, Follett. I know how you treat your characters.

Premise: Over the course of four decades, secrets connect and divide two families in a small Ohio city
Review: There have been hundreds, if not thousands, of novels telling the ‘Story of America‘ in the 20th C, so any novel that does this today needs to do it really, really well, in order to make its mark. And this does just that. ⬇️
