Not my favorite Patchett. Interesting premise, great ending, but a lot of meandering in the middle. Became a slog. But the ending was a worthy payoff. Recommended if you love Patchett‘s writing style already.

With family in town and so much going on, I missed last week, but here are my joys for this week‘s #5JoysFriday.
🎂My grand-niece dancing on the table at the end of her first birthday party
📚That same sweet girl enjoying her book gifts at the park
🥐A croissant sticking out its strawberry tongue at the wall of the display case
🙏🏼Seeing a former student interviewed on the news as he was providing support and aid to wildfire victims (link ⤵️)
I did not realize we got to Opar so early in the series!
Tarzan soothes a broken heart by… becoming a French spy? Lots of fun when ERB isn‘t being racist.
I start Tuesday as a weekly volunteer reading picture books aloud to two UTK classes. This morning I'm prepping: practicing my voices, coming up with questions to engage the students, reviewing strategies for working with wiggly 4-year-olds. I'm pretty excited!
