I love Maggie O‘Farrell‘s writing and this one is the most unusual one I‘ve read. Fascinating and unusual plot. Worth a read for sure.

Insta love is my least favorite romance trope, but the wonderful backstories of the characters and their families that O‘Farrell wove was breathtaking. It‘s another early effort that reminds me more of her debut than later books like Hamnet. I love how she used a character to grapple with her own feelings about the childhood disease that nearly took her life. She is really one of those authors that can do no wrong for me. 😁🙌🏻 #AuthorAMonth

Anyone else dealing with bad storms today? 🙋🏻‍♀️

Our power is out for the second time today(!), and mom‘s van is stuck in the garage, so I drove her to her hair appointment. Still very windy and rainy!! Starting this for #AuthorAMonth @Soubhiville

Cinfhen

Cinfhen So sweet to drive your mom!! Glad you grabbed a book to sit & wait with 1y

BarbaraBB I haven‘t read this one. Can‘t wait to read your review! 1y

Suet624 We have smoke from Canada with particulate matter in the air. This allows me to resign myself to the couch and read! 1y

vivastory It is insanely hot here today. It rose 30 degrees in just a couple of hrs. Ugh. (edited) 1y

Bookzombie We had a thunderstorm roll through this afternoon and the electricity flickered for a bit. We are also having unhealthy to very unhealthy air quality days. I hope you are enjoying your book! 1y

Reggie Right now in Albuquerque it was a hot summer day and just as I got off my car there was thunderstorm where I had to put my umbrella completely sideways to fend off the rain. 1y

Megabooks @Reggie that is wild! It usually isn‘t that extreme from one to the other here, but we‘re on our fourth line of thunderstorms today. Sigh. 🙄 Tired of it! (edited) 1y

Megabooks @Bookzombie thanks! We have been having haze from the fires, but the air quality has stayed decent, fortunately. I hope things improve there! 1y

Megabooks @vivastory yeah, I saw some places in MO were hitting triple digits today. That is crazy heat for June! 1y

Megabooks @Suet624 that really is a terrible situation in Canada. 😔 I‘m sorry it‘s affecting you, too, but it is a great excuse to pick up a book! 1y

Megabooks @BarbaraBB I‘m enjoying it so far! 1y

Megabooks @Cinfhen thanks! I‘m glad she was able to go. The weather has been crazy here today!! 1y

Another book swap haul also on the way home from ballet I think? Since reading Hamnet I want to read all of Maggie‘s back catalogue.

Megabooks That‘s a great stack! 2y

#ArtfulAugust Day 12: This book club title (GatheringReaders @ UAE) has a few #QuirkyCharacters. The timeline jumps are disconcerting but well worth the patience in the end. Posting a few days in advance as I will be traveling in the coming days.

Maggie O‘Farrell has become one of my all time favourite authors. This is book number 6 of hers I‘ve read.

Her story telling and characterisation suck me in. I wasn‘t sure whether there was any connection between the two story lines at first. But I happily went along for the ride. Such good writing 👌🏼👏🏻😍.

BarbaraBB I haven‘t read this one yet, I‘m glad to hear it‘s just as good as her other books! 4y

Cathythoughts Sounds good ! I loved The Hand That First... & I Loved Hamnet ... must read more of her 4y

CarolynM I should read more of her too. I've only read The Hand... Which I loved. Stacking this one🙂 4y

I thought the main character had been raped, but it turned out she had killed someone and I am SO relieved. Does that make me a monster?

Loved this book! Had to post today because King Arthur Flour website tells me, "Native to Wales, as their name suggests, Welsh Cakes are the perfect breakfast on the feast day of their native country's patron saint, St. David — celebrated each year on March 1." (So, this year it happens to also be the first day of #lent.) @Smangela @Callemarie #marchmadness #litsycooks

Talewaggingreads I will have to wait until next year. Who knew? 8y
