Welcome to Litsy!

This was blurbed by Adam Johnson, the author of my favorite short story collection Fortune Smiles, so I knew it would be good. Knight does a beautiful job of highlighting Mobile, Alabama and its bay around the time of the Deep Horizon oil spill. If you enjoy Southern regional fiction (like me), this collection is for you! There‘s a funny story about a foiled home burglary and another about young love on the boat docks that rings so true.

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

Just the kind of light-hearted fun I have needed!

This book is hard to describe. It‘s had some beautiful vignettes and gorgeous descriptions of nature. Parts are very disturbing and not easy to read. It‘s was our April Bookclub pick. Thank you @Cathythoughts for choosing it. I don‘t think I‘d have read it otherwise and I would have missed the wonderful prose and characters. It will stay with me for a long time.

Thankyou @emmasm08 for saying I‘d like this one. I really did like it. Great storytelling and characters and mostly I loved that it was so human. ❤️

Oh this was fun! A cozy mystery featuring a sassy southern lady of a certain age who investigates the apparent suicide of her best friend, Sister Amity Gay.
