Welcome to Litsy!

Starting my 4 day weekend by finishing this one. It did not disappoint @SavidgeReads .

Had to get this after hearing Simon rave about it on The Readers podcast. Tagline: Sarah Waters meets Daphne du Maurier. #greencarnationwinner #TheReaders

I picked this up a while ago at the suggestion of a certain Simon of The Readers and it was ok. This involved sheep ranching and a clandestine gay love affair, sound familiar??? 🤔 I enjoyed Proulx‘s tale better. I did find the old country rural language interesting and I‘m always a sucker for rural settings. The MC was well developed and I liked him, I wish there had been more depth to the others.

Two books that are set in the heatwave of 1976, both have events that have seismic effects on their characters and both were really good reads. Makes the temperature rise and Bananarama had a similar effect on young males back in the good old 1980's as i vividly remember.

So bad. Really homophobic in so many ways. Also a lot of ableist language, sexism and misogyny. DO NOT PICK UP THIS BOOK WHEN YOU ARE MARGINALISED !!! And shame on every non-marginalised reader picking up this trash of a book.
