Welcome to Litsy!

The friend who gave me this book indicated it was a bit of a challenging read, but I didn't find it to be so. I mowed right through this book, it was a really engaging plot and characters, I very much enjoyed it!

"They'd driven all the way to Mr. Styles's house before Anna realized that her father was nervous." This book has been on my TBR shelf for nearly a year, a gift from a friend. I'm now finally getting to it and what a wonderful opening sentence! It bodes well, I'm looking forward to the novel.

Seriously?

A fictional account of what might have happened to a NY Supreme Court Justice in 1930. It was a real life case that was never solved. Interesting portrayal of life during that time, where if you weren't willing to use crooked means to get ahead, you would never get anywhere.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for this baby!! Lehane does an amazing job creating believable characters. His descriptions evoke the images, but he doesn‘t ramble. I‘m on to the sequel, The Given Day, so I can stay in 1930s Florida and Cuba.

My photo skills leave a lot to be desired. Yeah, maybe don‘t cut off the title! 🤪
I‘d retake it but I already returned it to the library.

Thought to be derived from battlefield surgeries, when amputations and medieval medical procedures were done without anaesthetic. To distract the ‘patient‘ from the pain, a bullet was placed in their mouth for them to bite down on.

So...its happening.
My family trip to Disneyland Paris has been cancelled because of personal family reason so I'm going to Birmingham for a couple of days to visit a friend and fangirl over Peaky Blinders.
The big thing for me is that I'm doing this trip SOLO!
At the moment I'm excited and looking forward to exploring the city and seeing my friend.
Of course I'm going on a Peaky Blinders walking tour.
