Welcome to Litsy!

I would have loved this book so much if I'd have read it as a kid! I wish I could gift it to my 9-year-old self. As an adult, Olga was slightly grating, but I still appreciated the irrepressible runaway, even though now I felt more deeply for the slightly romantic but ultimately level-headed Clarice who was tasked with harboring her. The illustrations are lovely, and my favorite part of this #PersephonePick.

I've got my #PersephonePick for the month! Anyone else joining in? A reminder that this challenge is for everyone, and that you set the parameters for yourself. Choose however many Persephone books you'd like to read this year (I'm doing one a month), and share your choices, thoughts, reviews, etc., using the hashtag. This is all about discovering new authors, new stories, new histories! If you prefer a buddy read, see below for more info! 👇👇👇
