pickThis was so much better than I'd anticipated! Not the saccharine sweet tale id thought (phew!) But an inspiring and beautifully written story.
Freebie from a neighbour.
I like that its Australian and set in 1940's, so far it reads easily.
pickA husband that loved best by striving to be what his wife wants instead of what he truly is, dies suddenly in a tragic accident. A grieving wife needs to work by the rumbling trains that took him from her. A lonely child and an even lonlier soldier poet find joy in simple pleasures. A poem written to a woman that two men love in very different ways. The author delivers a quiet story filled with loss, heartache and slowly unfolding hope. 3🌟
pickI have had this audiobook on my tbr for a couple of years, mainly because my favorite narrator (Mr. West) is one of the readers, and I require periodic fixes, but also because it‘s historical fiction that appealed to me.
I‘m glad I listened to it: a slow, sad story about characters dealing with grief and coping after WWII. Really pretty writing, but I wish there was a little more development, and the ending sort of fell flat for me.
⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

#TBRtemptation post! Historical fiction set in post-WWII Australia. When Anikka's husband is killed in a railway accident, she's given a job at the Railway Institute's library. There's Ross, the poet with writer's block & pessimism. And there's Dr. Frank, heavy with guilt over failed medical aid he's provided. Their friendship explores love and beginnings & endings in all their various forms. Sounds good to me! #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎
Picture taken with KaleidaCam app inspired after reading pages 2 & 3.
pick3.5 stars A kind of quiet read. A story about loss, moving forward, the guilt one may feel about moving forward and possibly forgetting. While these themes centre on Ani Lachlan, the other 2 characters Roy and Frank are going through the same. Reminded me of Itani's novel, Tell.
Such fascinating things, libraries....💖
Now what do I read?!? Just finished two fantastic books back to back! I'm thinking Black Rabbit Hall might be too similar to June? But a good summer read too? Help me choose!! 👍🏻😁
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Just beautiful.
so-soAn interesting examination of grief and loss and how we cope with them but as a story it fell flat, the characters detached.
