No Good Asking: A Novel | Fran Kimmel
3 posts | 4 read | 1 reading | 6 to read
A profoundly moving exploration of our capacity to heal one another. Ellie and Eric Nyland have moved their two sons back to Erics childhood farmhouse, hoping for a fresh start. But theres no denying it, their family is falling apart, each one of them isolated by private sorrows, stresses, and missed signals. With every passing day, Ellies hopes are buried deeper in the harsh winter snows. When Eric finds Hannah Finch, the girl across the road, wandering alone in the bitter cold, his rusty police instincts kick in, and he soon discovers there are bad things happening in the girls house. With nowhere else to send her, the Nylands reluctantly agree to let Hannah stay with them until she can find a new home after the Christmas holidays. But Hannah proves to be more balm than burden, and the Nylands discover that the only thing harder than taking Hannah in may be letting her go.

I‘ve heard good things about this one so it‘s next up. The lake is ridiculously high this year but I do love water so it makes my heart happy to have so much of it around.

Susannah So lovely! Do you mind saying what area you‘re in? 5y
BookNAround @Susannah I‘m in Upper Peninsula Michigan for the summer. The area is called Les Cheneaux. It‘s the place of my heart and my family has been coming here for 100 years +. ❤️ 5y
Susannah Oh wow! I live in California where everything is brown just now, so I‘m envious of the colors of your view. How wonderful that you and your family have such a long history there. 5y

What a beautiful sad story. This story starts with an eleven year old girl who is taken out of her home and placed with a local family over the holidays. But moves on to the dynamics of this very imperfect family. Just a lovely novel, highly recommend.
