Welcome to Litsy!

This is the story of Jinx and her family. She is having trouble connecting with her son and hasn‘t /isn‘t dealing with her family problems. Lemon a family friend knocks at the door and that encourages Jinx to relive everything. This book was lonlisted for The Man Booker Prize in 2011. Don‘t let gat deter you. It‘s an excellent story but extremely intense and can be triggering to some so beware. I highly recommend it!

4. Iceland
5. tagged book ..., certain scene/ scenes stayed in my mind ... way beyond sad .... awful.. I hope I can let them go now

I thought this story of Jinx & her mother‘s murder was well told. The characters very well written.. I found the last third hard going. The descriptions of the abusive relationships were tough to read ... but a very good book. Will stay with me for awhile. This writer brings her characters to life ..

A good, challenging read.

HOW FUN IS THIS PHOTO?

THESE WERE COATS HANGING UP AT YOGA LAST NIGHT.

Fourteen years after her mother‘s murder, Jinx still blames herself for her role in the crime. She is living alone, separated from her husband and young son, when Lemon arrives, an old friend of Jinx‘s mom and her abusive husband Berris. Lemon blames himself for the death as well. The next few days they spend reliving past events. An emotional book, written very well.

This was my Y for #litsyatoz it wasn't an easy read and it wasn't like anything I usually read, but it as good. It was well done and I felt the emotions. 🔅🔅🔅

This is my Y for #litsyatoz I know it's the authors first name, but I had no choice.

Finished in the car on the way to Christmas at my in-laws'. #diversebooks

Another Dollar Tree find. It sounds really good! And the cover makes me want a Papaya.
