Starting to feel like fall, drinking hot tea ☕️ 🍂🍁
#LMPBC Group L @thebluestocking @suvata @sprainedbrain Has anyone read any of these? Suggestions?
I'm excited for some good Southern Lit drama. First chapter in Gert didn't let me down. This one is told from the perspective of 3 women and it feels like something that Reese Witherspoon might make into a movie *fingers crossed*.
Children are such a wave, the birthing and caring and rearing. When you're in the throes it all seems interminable. Then, whoosh, it's over. I don't know why I was surprised when the children grew up, but I was. I thought, in their youth, it would last forever. Now I see that it was my youth, not theirs that was speaking. The past is now and now and now. P. 169
Sometimes the years fly by so fast that it's like flipping pages in a book, but a day can take so long that a whole life's gone by before the sun sets down. P. 53
pick“It‘s easier to kill a man than a gator, but it takes the same kind of wait.”
Loved this amazing book! Is right up there w/Where The Crawdads Sing so if you enjoyed that you will this one too. Spira‘s debut novel is set in 1920‘s S Carolina lowcountry w/3 women who struggle w/racism, family dysfunction, poverty. Spira skillfully leads you into each woman‘s life + surroundings making this a very atmospheric and descriptive novel. Not to be missed!
pickI read this a while ago, but I really think this is a diamond in the rough. It wasn't perfect, but it was a really, solid book about three extraordinary women who faced some serious odds.
