TBH, I forgot I had this #Music (or rather musical) title sitting in my Kindle TBR but it looks interesting. 🎶🎵🎼

I'm a big fan of Ann Patchett, but this story was not my favourite. Also, it refers to the play "Our Town" constantly, which is not as well known outside of the USA, so I assume I missed a lot of clever parallels?

This play was so popular when I was in forensics in high school. It was THE choice for Dramatic Duets. I've also seen it performed in full several times. But never with any of the pictured stars. I would have loved to see Alan Alda and Candice Bergen.

Next audible

I did the audio version of this book. I enjoyed Meryl Streep as the narrator. During this story, a mother tells of her past to her 3 daughters. Her past included a romance with an actor who later became famous. She met him while playing Emily on a play called “Our Town”. This author writes beautifully, like a poet. The morale of this story is family. I thought this book was very good, and I recommend it.

1. I‘m getting lost working jigsaw puzzles.
2. I went through all my reviews of the last year and this was one of my only picks that didn‘t include murder, missing children or dysfunctional families!

1️⃣ Listen to music, walks by the sea around my house

2️⃣ I loved the audiobook for this one. Meryl Streep‘s narration just made me happy.

I felt that the book delivered what it was meaning to, which was shed light on privilege and racism in the theather world.

I sometimes felt annoyed by the attitudes displayed by Hugo and Eddie, but it was overall a great read that gave you something to think about.

This being the author's debut novel already has me looking forward to what she will come up with in the future.
