Welcome to Litsy!

#alphabetgame #LetterK #AnnHood

I highly recommend Ann Hood‘s essays about her lifelong journey in the kitchen — honest,funny, smart, mouthwatering( recipes),tender, visceral, & graceful. Her wide open, vulnerable writing welcomes you into her world of family, knitting, writing, cooking, coping, grieving, loving, & accepting life‘s challenges. It‘s time to make her fresh tomato pie recipe! 🍅🥧

COMMENT: The belief of the Red Thread in China is really thoughtful and strong. Believe you are destined to a person in life and if you don't, just love yourself that's your own best friend then.

SPOILER: the main's character daughter is dead.

Last gushing post, I promise!

💫Listening to Ann Hood speak was a wonderful experience. A fellow bookworm recounting their journey in being a bookworm establishes a sense of camaraderie. It's like finding another member of your club. She was witty, eloquent, emotional, and full of warmth. I'm really looking forward to this book now.
P.S. Fans of the Obituary Writer: I asked who her favorite poets are. Emily Dickinson & Robert Frost.

🖌It is thundering and raining outside, the church lights are flickering, and we await Ann Hood's arrival. Most definitely an interesting start to the evening. ❤️

1919: Vivian Lowe is a sought after obituary writer coping with the loss of her lover in the 1906 SF Earthquake.
1960: Claire is an unfaithful housewife caught up in the excitement of the Kennedy inauguration and piecing her life together.
The story is about love, grief, and letting go.

Definitely recommend it. The use of poetry in the obituaries is lovely.

Never mind the cluttered book stacks on the shelves below... 🙈 I took some editorial privileges and am showing the pretty part of my #onthenightstand. My lavender oil is diffusing setting the tone for relaxing reading!

As a side note- this book is completely engrossing! I love the 1960 housewife story!
