The Pull of the Moon

The Pull of the Moon: A Novel | Elizabeth Berg

pick

I would probably give this and almost 4 ⭐️ rating. Not quite what I was expecting but still good. It is labeled as chick lit, fiction & contemporary. The title, to me, suggested more of a "spiritual, go with the flow, the universe will provide" kind of a theme. In reality I feel like it was somewhere in the middle of all of this. A midlife crisis leads to a journey (literally & figuratively) of self discovery, (cont in comments)...

TheHeartlandBookFairy self awareness, and finally, self acceptance.Fiction, yes, but still heartbreakingly honest but with a sense of humor. Thoughtful, insightful, sweet.

Back in the '90s, author Berg found a gorgeous $40 leather journal at her fave bookstore. She almost bought it, but thought it was ridiculous to buy something too intimidating to make mistakes in and too pretty to use! She wondered: Who would buy such a journal & really use it? And in her head popped Nan, the 50-ish protagonist of this novel who skips town to shake up her routine life. Nan's insightful journal entries make this a charming read.

Pull Of The Moon | Elizabeth Berg

Day 4 #epistolary #ReadJanuary I love 84 Charing Cross Road as well as The Guernsey Literary And Potato Peel Society but figured I'd highlight a few other ones. Love Virtually is told in emails, The Letters and Griffin And Sabine are told in letters, and The Pull Of The Moon is told in letters and journal entries.
