so-soA young woman inherits an apartment from a total stranger and tries to figure out how she is connected to the person who bequeathed it. An entertaining mystery that comes with a series of hidden clues,a trio of meddling Indian aunties (you know how they be),and a dreamy next-door neighbour. The experiences of Indian nationals who immigrated to Boston in the early 20th century made this one a pleasurable reading experience

“Boston‘s cityscape is a perfect blend of history and modernity. Cobblestone streets lead to towering skyscrapers, while the Charles River reflects the city‘s timeless charm. From the iconic brownstones of Beacon Hill to the futuristic Seaport skyline, every corner tells a story of resilience and innovation. #Boston #Cityscape #HistoryMeetsModern”
This is a re-read. I read this a long time ago and now want to read more of the series. Interesting main character, with sarcastic wit (sometimes). Hoping he improves over time. The mystery was fine.
Thank you Kerri! So excited for the book and chocolates. I may be having a piece now with my morning coffee. Yum! @Kshakal

pickWhat an excellent book—a huge shoutout to the power of women over misogyny early last century, mostly set in #Canada but a few important moments in #Boston. The main character was raised to be a midwife. When a male doctor comes to town, he insists the old ways are dangerous and his newfangled ways (including forceps) are safer. There is so much to unpack about this book a short review cannot do it justice. In general, it speaks to the power ⬇️
Brimming with emotion, I refolded the letter and cradled it in my hands. The chestnut colt—I‘d have to think of a name for him—was watching me with an impish look that promised adventure, and I smiled back at him with complete and utter satisfaction. Now this was a day to end all days . . . or to begin them.

pickArtist Claire has been blackballed by the art world and is thus working creating reproductions of famous paintings for a website. Then someone brings her a painting from the Gardner Museum heist but she believes it‘s a forgery. For whatever reason I dragged my feet to pick up this book and it turns out I loved it! The story is great and the descriptions of the artistic process are fascinating. #ReadYourEbooks
After my skin check yesterday (I have a script for some chemo cream for my nose to start next winter) but before my next appointment with the building manager in my other apartment block to change the battery in the smoke detector as I can‘t reach it) and my 🩰 performances last night, I managed to fit in a trip to Kmart where I got my babies some cheap outfits and an op shop. I think the earrings will work for one of my Xmas dos. Grand total $15.
