pickI loved this. The alternating chapters, with each one focused on one of the four sisters or their adoptive mother, were done really well. I love a good character driven story, and in this we get five wonderful character studies. I will definitely be on the lookout for more from this author.
I'm just starting this one. Agatha Christie, Dorothy Sayers, Ngaio Marsh, Baroness Emma Orczy, and Margery Allingham all band together to solve a real murder to prove that they're equal to, or better than, the authors in the "boys' club" who don't accept them. So far, good character development and lots of 1930s period charm. Reading for a book discussion later this week.

☀️ Going to see a play tonight with my son, a classic!
☀️ My favorite tennis player (Jessie Pegula) won today and is going to the semi finals in the Charleston Open

☀️ Coffee. Always coffee. I fear soon it will be a luxury rather than a staple.
☀️ Library holds are in.

I‘m glad I didn‘t get to it in December. It was such a great read & really hit the spot right now.
Morgan takes the time to develop her characters & it gets you invested in them & the various storylines. All this while pacing it so the book never drags. She‘s an auto read author for me now.
pickA good, sink-into, partially estranged family story. I really liked the characters, the pacing, the writing. I will definitely be reading more this author.

pickThis was a mixed bag for me- thou I seem to be one of few who didn't unconditionally love it. I loved almost everything about the 1920s part of the story: I felt like I was in Brooklyn, watching Augusta and her family live life(& death) & I loved everything about about teenage Augusta, Irving, & Aunt Ester. My difficulties come in the 80s timeline: I love that the characters we meet at the retirement village are happy, active, and still open to ⬇️
