Reading ‘Team W‘ books for an author event in Rhode Island in November. ‘Victorine‘ is what a character calls his muse in The Forgotten Room.
The real Victorine Meurent was Manet‘s muse, but she was an excellent artist herself. If you want to read more about Victorine, The Paris Novel is an excellent book.

I found it a little difficult to keep track of the various fathers and mothers at times, but I loved how engrossing this story was. The way the generations kept coming together only to be thwarted made for an epic set of love stories, and I always love a wartime woman doctor. #historicalfiction

Check out the novel summary on Goodreads.com. Love how these three writers pen a story weaving three different generations of women. Beatriz Williams is one of my top 10 fave authors. I‘ll read anything by B. Williams and the collaboration on this novel was creatively designed - I almost had to take notes!

megnews I really liked the description of the house, especially the room with its stained glass and the hidey hole. I also enjoyed the artwork. I don‘t really understand why Harry changed his name though. 4y
CoffeeNBooks @megnews I agree about the name change. The only thing I thought was that maybe he was so upset by his sister's treatment of him (and maybe also his brother's death), that he didn't want to be associated with the family any more. 4y
CoverToCoverGirl @megnews I think after Olive was lost to him, he wanted to reinvent himself away from his family, thus the name change. 4y
Jerdencon I really liked the house - meant to look up if it was actually a real house. 4y

5. What was your experience reading the novel? Did the alternating chapters hold together seamlessly or did you find the shifts jarring? ~from LitLovers Discussion guide #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead

Aims42 I noticed about halfway through that one chapter would end on a word and then the next chapter would start with that word. I thought that was really cool 👍🏻 I did not like that until the last part of the book I was convinced there was some incest happening. I‘ve liked their other books, but this one for that reason made me not a fan 4y
megnews I didn‘t really find the shifts jarring. I usually like books that alternate time periods. But these 3 stories were so interwoven with the characters that I have to say I was getting confused. 4y
megnews @Aims42 I thought the same thing. I was hoping they‘d hurry up and find out about each other before anything occurred and feeling bad for how they‘d feel when they did learn their relationship. It was definitely odd. 4y
See All 14 Comments
Aims42 @megnews YES!!! A couple times I physically cringed and my husband sitting next to me was like, “What? Why are you making that face?” And I was like, “I don‘t know for sure yet....” Odd is the perfect word! 4y
Librarybelle @Aims42 @megnews I was so concerned about the incest possibility too! It was almost a relief when it was discovered otherwise, but definitely odd. I liked the book, but I think they have collaborated on better books. 4y
Aims42 @Librarybelle @megnews I loved, loved, loved “All the Ways We Said Goodbye” and “The Glass Ocean”. I devoured those books and was disappointed this one was a miss for me 4y
Librarybelle @Aims42 I really enjoyed The Glass Ocean too! 4y
CarolineLovesToRead I wished that some of the chapters would continue in the same time frame. Just as I was getting into one storyline it would jump to another but it did not bother me so much halfway thru. I wouldn‘t mind reading their other books. 4y
megnews @Aims42 @CarolineLovesToRead @Librarybelle I wonder if the authors realized it would come across as incest (how could they not?) and if they realized how cringey it would be to readers? 4y
CoverToCoverGirl This was my first book by all of these authors. I will definitely read more by all of them. I thought it was seamlessly done, and beautifully written, but I haven‘t any other point of reference. 4y
Aims42 @megnews @CarolineLovesToRead @Librarybelle Maybe?? Perhaps a copy editor was like, “Um, hold up. We gotta clear this up” 😆 If I hadn‘t read another one of their books I would think twice about reading another by them 4y
CoffeeNBooks I definitely had to take notes as I read to keep track of the different stories- I was also reading two other books with multiple storylines at the same time, so it was a bit crazy keeping track of everything! 🤣 4y
megnews @CoffeeNBooks Harry‘s sister being the aunt by marriage or stepmom by marriage. That was the worst part for me. Couldn‘t keep her straight at all. 4y
Jerdencon I couldn‘t keep up with the Prunella story either but everything else seemed ok to me. 4y

4. As the mystery unraveled itself during the course of the novel, were there any points where you felt you had the answers to the riddles? If so, were your predictions born out...or were you wrong? ~from LitLovers Discussion guide #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead

megnews Not at all. For awhile I was afraid there was going to be incest going on unbeknownst to the characters. 😳 4y
CarolineLovesToRead @megnews I‘m glad I‘m not the only one worried about incest. 😬I found that to be a bit confusing 4y
CoverToCoverGirl I always thought Harry Pratt was going to be a big influence on how things played out, especially because he mysteriously disappeared. I just couldn‘t quite figure it out, but I never once thought it would be an incestuous connection. I should have drawn a family tree at the start, a visual my have helped me to figure it out sooner. 4y

CoffeeNBooks I had some of it figured out, but not that Harry Pratt/Ravenel was the same person. I kept trying to figure out how Harry fit back into the story. 4y

2. Lies and secrets are a major theme in The Forgotten Room: the way they ripple, like a pebble thrown into a pond, through time and across generations. How were the characters affected by the many secrets eventually uncovered in the book. What responsibilities for truth and openness do all of us have to the generations that follow us? ~adapted from LitLovers Discussion guide #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead

megnews I guess it all goes back to Olive‘s father‘s secret. If Olive knew Harry‘s father had reason to be angry with him, she may not have sought revenge and then the story wouldn‘t have unfolded at all. Instead that choice rippled down through generations. I value truth and transparency in family relationships. 4y
Librarybelle @megnews Yes! Agreed! 4y
CarolineLovesToRead This story shows how one secret or lie can change the course of people‘s lives. Secrets are sometimes kept as families fear shame and don‘t realize the ripple effects. 4y
CoffeeNBooks At the time, Olive probably thought she was doing the right thing, but then that secret affected Lucy, and then Kate. Definitely a ripple effect. 4y

1. Of the three entwined stories that make up The Forgetting Room, which character(s) were you most drawn to? Which character's story held your interest more than the others? Or were they all equally compelling? ~from LitLovers discussion guide #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead

megnews My favorite storyline was Olive and Harry. Theirs seemed the most natural to me and possibly the least confusing because it was the farthest back before the characters started intertwining. 4y

Wow- this was a really interesting collaboration by three authors, with three storylines that all connected together slowly throughout the book. It tells the story of Olive in the 1890s, Lucy in the 1920s, and Kate in the 1940s. It is a story of friendship, love, and heartbreak. I enjoyed putting the clues together as I read, to see how each woman's story connected to the others.

I have yet to be disappointed with the collaborative writings of White, Williams, and Willig. Sweet, multilayered time period stories, with a dash of mystery and some romance are the perfect escape reads. In this one, a room at the top of a mansion in New York has secrets of a love affair at the end of the 19th century, which affects characters in the 1920s and 1940s. Captivating stories expertly interlocked. #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead

Historical fiction following 3 generations of women and The Forgotten Room. Sounds like something that I would usually love. This one got a bit confusing for me. I thought about drawing a family tree at one point. Still, I enjoyed the characters and storylines quite a bit. Looking forward to discussion with the #LiteraryCrew later this month.

megnews At a couple points in the novel I thought we might have incest going on and that got a little weird. Looking forward to seeing how other folks dealt with that mystery. 4y

This one has three timelines 1890, 1920 and 1945 and three sets of characters who are linked in some way. Loved the mansion that is also a character in this book. 4⭐️ book 33

Enjoyable light historical fiction and family mystery. The novel follows three generations of women and their connections to an NYC mansion, and to the men that live(d) there. Mild complaints: there's a problematic doctor/patient relationship, and the FatedMates (TM) trope doesn't always work, but I liked this one overall.

I have enjoyed the books they have collaboratively written as well as the books they write solo.

These two books were truly a masterpiece with no way to tell who wrote which part and FABULOUS story lines.

LOVED both books.

I understand there is a third one in the works. :)

One Day in December is at the very top of my wish list at the moment, and The Forgotten Room is exactly the kind of epic genre blend I love! All the goodies are perfect, even the wrapping paper and card are adorable. ❤️🤗

🎅 #sss @Avanders Thanks for hosting!

This is sweet! Congrats @TheLibrarian on your huge milestone! #70kgiveaway

I had a lot of favorites this year. The Forgotten Room stands out because it was written by 3 of my favorite authors.

TheLibrarian Thanks for entering! The book does sound really good. 6y
