pickMy second time reading this book and my 4⭐️ rating holds. I usually stay away from novels about infidelity but this one is well written, and it digs deeper on a crumbling marriage and a family going through a divorce. It‘s another NYRB Classics gem I‘d add to my recommendation list.
so-soBook 6 for #TenBeforeTheEnd and another one I‘ve had on my shelf for at least a decade. It was interesting and a creative merging of two timelines and some magical realism, but I didn‘t love it. I realized this is by the author of a new book, which I do still want to read - The Most.
Wonderful insights into the limits and value of marriage and friendship.
pick3⭐. A collection of short stories in the backwoods of Appalachia. I'm unsure if I will read more of the author. After some stories I thought I might; after other stories I said I wouldn't.

I too , read the introduction tonight. Auchincloss writes too about upper crust NY, but of course, more contemporary 1950s - 60s ? I think. Glad to be joining in the #WhartonBuddyRead
