pickWell, I‘m chiming in to add my love to the chorus of #PersephoneClub readers who loved this book, too.
An exquisitely wrought story of a 1950s housewife who is slowly going mad until she finds a purpose: to try to save her 18-year-old daughter from the same sort of life in which she herself is stuck.
#JohnnyBergen has been finding camper life exhausting. We‘ve been on the road for a couple of weeks. 😆

Leftcoastzen Awww! Sweet pup! 1y
ShelleyBooksie He is so handsome ♡♡ 1y
Tamra So glad you liked it and yes, camping is just exhausting. 🤣 1y
erzascarletbookgasm Ohh camping! How fun..but tiring! 1y
MemoirsForMe Awww! Happy Camping! 1y
batsy Poor Johnny! Has he been made to do too many chores? 😆❤️ 1y
youneverarrived Too cute ♥️♥️ 1y
Aimeesue Aww, poor little guy! Travelling guard duty is rough on a fellow! 1y
Cathythoughts Lovely pic and review ❤️ I‘m flagging behind , I‘ve had lots of family staying and everything is up in a heap ! I really enjoyed the start of this book, just haven‘t had a minute. My family prefer Tv , so have watched some good shows. Can‘t wait to get back to reality and to Litsy and reading properly. Poor Johnny is finding the camping hard going , bless him ❤️🐶. Chat soon Xxx 1y
LeahBergen @jlhammar She was one of those authors that I always THOUGHT I might like but never rushed to read. I‘m so glad that I finally did! 1y
LeahBergen @Caroline2 @Leftcoastzen @ShelleyBooksie @youneverarrived Johnny sends his love! 😆 1y
LeahBergen @TrishB Johnny sends Sansa a kiss! 😆 1y
LeahBergen @dabbe He wouldn‘t mind at all! 😆 1y
LeahBergen @Tamra @erzascarletbookgasm @batsy SO exhausting. I mean … he‘s in a trailer with his own blankets, bed, bowls, toys … excruciating! 😆 1y
LeahBergen @UwannaPublishme Thank you! We‘ve been having a wonderful time. 😘 1y
LeahBergen @Aimeesue He‘s been keeping an eye out for elk and bears (from the safety of his trailer). 😆 1y
LeahBergen @Cathythoughts I‘m going through the same thing! I just spent 8 days with family and had ZERO reading (or Litsy) time. It was all great fun, though, and we‘re now having a bit of time to ourselves. Johnny would be enjoying the wilds of Canada much more if your Lisa was here to bolster his courage. 😆😆 1y
Suet624 So fun! It‘s great getting out of your regular routine and into the woods. 1y
Centique I quite fancy curling up beside him for a snooze! Johnny does camping in great civilised style 😉 1y
CarolynM I‘m glad everyone seems to have enjoyed it🙂 I‘m not in the right headspace right now, but it (or Dr Thorn) will be the first thing I pick up when I‘m ready for more than romance or cozy crime. Hope you‘re having a wonderful time on your camping trip😘 1y
LeahBergen @Suet624 Isn‘t it, though? 🥰 1y
LeahBergen @Centique He LOVES a snoozing partner. 😆 1y
LeahBergen @CarolynM It‘s a great read when the time is right. I‘ve also skipped our #Trollope-ing read as I‘ve been travelling about too much. 😕 I hope life settles down a bit for you soon but yeah … we are right in that age of aging parents and such. It‘s rough, isn‘t it? 1y
Cathythoughts God I loved it too ! It was , as you say an , exquisitely wrought story 👍🏻♥️ 1y
sarahbarnes I want to read this! And two weeks on the road in a camper sounds amazing!! 1y
LeahBergen @sarahbarnes It was a lovely holiday! 😊 1y
