pickThanks to @TheBookHippie for this fun insightful rec! I really enjoyed the intricacies of the platonic and romantic relationships, as well as the humour and tensions found in a faith and neighbourhood community, which totally ties into my background. It felt very “small town,” though it was set in London. The post-War thread was interesting, and I appreciated the subtle presence of the queer characters. #AuldLangSpine #Booked2022 #AuthorNotLIving
Singout I totally have to give this to my mother now. Seventy years later and on the other side of the Atlantic the jumble sale drama is real. (edited) 2y

Singout My mother woke me up with a phone call today asking if I want a piece of “art” that I‘ve never seen that my grandparents‘ friends brought back from Mexico over 60 years ago before it goes to the jumble sale next weekend… 2y
