Welcome to Litsy!

Reading the last book in Round 4 of our mail around bookclub #CoverToCover
This is a moving story of the woman whose husband just died. She is recounting their lives together the day of his death, while she remains at his deathbed.

Quiet, devastating and beautiful. The writing is in the style of an internal monologue and skips about all over the place like real thoughts and memories do. Difficult topics are covered with the same weight as everything else, as if to say that when you get old, you realise that everything you worried about ceases to matter. I struggled with this idea but think the way it's done is profound.

A lovely book about how marriage isn't all happiness and is really fucking hard work.

I love it when the book I'm enjoying references one of my favourite authors 😊

This was really lovely and sad and beautiful. Described a marriage honestly - it doesn't have to be perfect to be happy. Bit of an odd abrupt ending but a great read.

As well as being on a roll of reading feminist/#NastyWomen books, I'm reading a lot on marriage. Even feminazis sometime have wedding anniversaries to plan for.

I am not sure how I feel about this slim novel. Nina finds that her husband has passed away while she was making dinner. She spends that night reminiscing about their married life together. I liked the premise of the novel but the stream of conscious writing style took me out of the story.
