Welcome to Litsy!

I love books with a strong sense of place, and this one did not disappoint. The author did a wonderful job of depicting life on a remote island, complete with island traditions, food, and a cast of quirky characters. This setting, along with the growth in confidence of the main character, a bit of romance, and the revelation of some long-buried secrets made for a very enjoyable read.

I did skim parts of the first of the book, so I did miss a few things. I liked one thing that happened, when so many novels would go the other way. I think I liked it because the author made sure that the reader understood, whereas so many other books wouldn‘t go into it. I also liked the ecological slant to the story (though that wasn‘t explored in a lot of detail, but it still appealed to me).

I‘m really looking forward to traveling to the glorious fictional island of Tuga for #FictionalTraveler this month! What will everyone else be reading for the #Island prompt?

It's a story about families and all the messy and beautiful ways they are formed. This was a quick read, and while I am conflicted about India, the mc, I loved the kids and their voices. This was my March #Bookspin @TheAromaofBooks

Read this 4 book club! I really liked it! It‘s a family saga, but not a long, drawn-out one. It‘s very accessible. A lot of characters to get used to at 1st but it gets easier. I‘ll be eager to hear what ppl thought of Lila & her way of parenting. It has a satisfying end. Some heavy topics at times but very well done! 4 stars.

I loved this book just like I loved Laurie Frankel‘s last novel. She paints such compelling and honest portraits of families.

Happy b-day @wanderinglynn !! I hope you have an awesome day ☀️

I loved this…a lot. This multi-generational family story centers around Lila and Grace, and how looking for a connection and trying to figure out the past can lead you to information you might not want to find.

The supporting characters on this story were amazing, also! I chuckled every time “The Starbirds” made an appearance.

Read this!
