Welcome to Litsy!

I liked it.
Not as much as I liked the other books I read by her, those with Olive Kitteridge being the protagonist, but all in all it was an okay read. Maybe I wasn't so enthusiastic about this story because I already knew how it was done. Loosely linking different lives, characters and events to form a mosaic was nothing new for me.
Moreover, I was not moved by the overall arc. I would have liked to see less “flat� connecting elements.

“It seemed to him that the older he got (and he was getting really old), the more clearly he saw how little he understood this confusing argument between good and evil, and perhaps people were simply not made to understand things here on earth.� Page 17)

The protagonist‘s wife will be getting 82 soon, so I guess, he‘s about her age. But Littens, I am scarcely half her age and I‘m already feeling exactly how he does. 🤷ðŸ�½â€�♀ï¸�
