A writer/teacher lives with her lover and his daughter in Kentucky. All of her family suddenly moves there too and lives within a mile of each other. Then there‘s her ex-husband, also a writer and writing about her, a cat, a student, an Irishman and a best friend.

It‘s a very witty and comic kind of autofiction about her dealing with all these people and situations. Dialogues are fabulous, spot-on and funny.

Recommended!

March 2025 Book #8 last book read in March
I know this book was well accepted and won The Booker Price 2024 but I liked it not loved it. It didn‘t work for me. But I have to say that I like the writing style, it was the story that I didn‘t like much. Maybe my perspective about the relationship between these two women is different. I don‘t know but I saw a toxic dysfunctional relationship very manipulative and convenient. ⬇️

January 2025 Book #8

I enjoyed this book inspired in real facts and real people. It motivated me to read about what happened in that period of time before WWII and about these characters. I couldn‘t put it down because I like novels inspired in this period of time. 3.8/4 ⭐️

I've not spent a lot of time thinking about Tuberculosis, beyond having to have TB testing before I could start my roles in Healthcare facilities. It's an interesting history, and deserves more consideration now as it should have been eradicated many years ago, if not for inequities in the global system. This is an interesting read, if you're a little bit interested. #19-2025

January 2025 Book#6
I think the opening of this story was amazing but then it was like forgotten, not well connected with the rest of the story. I liked the characters and the mystery/horror that was hidden in these mountains that seem possessed Nick. But then, the story was dragged to explain all this possession which concluded with an ambiguous open ending. I think the idea was terrific but maybe needed some editing? 3⭐️

This was so good..love this author

Here‘s my #readyourkindle picks for March. #16 is a mood read, #14 is a mood read, #19 is Kindle Unlimited and #1 is #roll100. Basically, I can choose whatever books I want for these prompts except for #roll100. I have 1 book that I started last month from my #roll100 list. If I get finished with it this month then I‘ll add it on here. It‘s taking awhile to read because it‘s a nonfiction book you journal along with.

I mistakenly read #2 in this series last December and decided to start from the beginning this December. Happily, I believe I have found a new series to explore. Chief Inspector Gamache and the bucolic community of Three Pines, Quebec, has enchanted and engaged me with an intriguing murder of a beloved member of the village, one whose death shatters all who loved her. I look forward to learning more about the characters and this enchanting town.
