Not my usual fare but enjoyable so far.
Mountains set against
the backdrop of a dusky
painted sky, aglow.

New to me author, thanks to @Billypar ! B&N didn‘t have the two you recommended, but the blurb for this one is intriguing. 😄
And it‘s an Indie Publisher 👏🏾👏🏾
A little disappointed in this….I thought it was a mystery about a young persons death. The novel is less about the mystery, more about how our actions impact one another. I read this book on the Libby app, it would‘ve probably been better reading in book form as it‘s told by 10 different characters. It was a little confusing remembering who‘s who and flipping through the book would have been easier.

While still visiting Norway and England in other books, today I am concentrating on Costal Maine, the setting of this collection of stories/vignettes by Sarah Orne Jewett, who was a writer much admired by Willa Cather.

I have a lot going on this weekend, but I hope to at least have enough time to finish the #ohcanada pick and #EBBR and #NancyDrewBR . Those are quick ones.
I‘m reading the Sarah Orne Jewett b/c of the podcast “One Bright Book” and it takes time to digest.
The bottom two are also slower for me #hashtagbrigade and #DoorstopKristen #KLBR .
pickHow awesome to have another Charmaine Wilkerson! I did get confused a few times about the timeline but overall, really enjoyed this. Wilkerson writes beautiful characters and moving stories.

pickI really enjoyed the way this story is told, something a little different with a lot of layers. It‘s about a major family tragedy and life afterwards. It‘s also historical fiction as we learn the story behind a piece of pottery that has been with a family for generations, from slave days to the present. I liked how everything was interwoven and how the reader gets different perspectives from various characters.
pickI sat on this review for a while,mainly because there were many voices in this book,some I wasn‘t sure were necessary.In this evocative book the past informs the present. When Ebby was 10, she witnessed her brother‘s murder, & the shattering of a several hundred years old clay jar, representing legacy & family connections.A decade or so later Ebby is stood up at the altar & she fleas to France, where she heals from her trauma.
