pick

This is Stridsberg‘s newest novel and it‘s not in the database so tagging her breakthrough novel. This is my first Stridsberg, but I‘ve wanted to read her for years

This is a family saga, both told backwards and forwards.
It‘s the 1900s and Laura has just given birth and telling two men that they‘re the father. This part is told as on a dream

In the present, our protagonist is telling us about her life, parents and grandparents, and these

How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents | Julia Alvarez

pick

Finished this one tonight, & I liked this much more than Afterlife. Short stories about the same family—a large Dominican family but mostly focused on parents & their 4 girls. Different structure because it starts when they‘re older, then goes back in time. I enjoyed the stories, except there was a mean incident with a cat in one.

Stormy Weather | Paulette Jiles

A few hours ago the sky opened and it rained buckets. A little later the sun came out and I took an unscheduled nap. Just now I took an abbreviated walk around the neighborhood because the rain left behind some humidity.

Seen on my walk: an
Upside down flag and mushrooms
Sprouting from the rain

Women Who Love Too Much | Robin Norwood

so-so

I was hoping to get to understand the deep emotions of women who love too much and why they feel more deeply than others but the focus of this book was only on women who had an abusive relationship with their parents and especially alcoholism was the center of this book, and that wasn‘t what I expected from this book, neither did it gave me the explanation I am still craving so much. The stories of those women were still interesting and deep tho.
