There is a reason Margaret Atwood is the Queen! Her signature wit and precision is on full display in this book, re-stitching events from “The Odyssey” from a sharp and haunting female perspective. The 20th anniversary edition is stunning!
pickDelightful stories! One of which is when Matthew surprises Anne with a new dress with the popular puffy sleeves 👗

This sweet story combines several of LMM‘s favorite Christmas-story tropes: a Christmas mishap, a rich relative saves the day, and a misunderstanding comes right. (Also: I kind of want to read the tramp‘s side of the story…)

“Our basket was full of mottoes made from letters cut out of cardboard and covered with lissome sprays of fir. They were, moreover, adorned with gorgeous pink and red tissue roses…”
I‘m always curious how these Christmas decorations would have looked!

pickRing (Quincunx 5 (3)), by André Alexis (2021 ??)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️?
Premise: A woman falls in love for the first time, only to learn that the women of her family have a magical ability to change three things about their potential spouse. But of course, it comes with a warning, and at a cost.
Review: Of all the books in this odd series, this is the one that took me the longest to get into. But I think it will also be the one that will stick with me. ⬇️
“The little Grants stood with open mouths & horrified eyes. No turkey for Christmas! Was the world coming to an end? Wouldn't the government interfere if anyone ventured to dispense with a Christmas celebration?”
Ha! Well. Not so much, little Grants. Not then or now.

so-soA locked room mystery, except it‘s an island. The first third was entertaining, the rest dragged. The final denouement was a stretch. Generally not great, but the setting was interesting.
I love Rebecca Dew! Now I want to re-read Windy Poplars!
