As I read this short novel, I kept changing my mind about where it was going. I enjoyed the unexpectedness of the story. Part of what surprised me was the of literary feeling at the start (like the descriptions of the British Columbia setting and the poignant early moments of Frankie‘s coming-of-age), and then the move into a more exaggerated, eventful story by the end.

Caryl I especially loved the letter from the author to her publisher included in the back of the Persephone edition. 💖 2d

Caryl And oh, those ominous last two sentences of the book! 😳 2d

LeahBergen This one surprised me! I really liked it. And like you, I thought the additional material at the end was great! 2d

Tamra It was propulsive! 2d

Caryl @LeahBergen I'm so thankful to the #PersephoneClub for encouraging me to read more Persephone books! @Tamra Yes, it certainly was! I had to keep reading/chasing to see where the story was going. Twists & turns, indeed! 1d

A Truce That Is Not Peace | Miriam Toews

so-so

This was not one of Toew‘s best works. The section of letters written to her sister during a wayward backpacking trip through Europe and snippets of witticisms from her elderly mother were the highlights of this brief, unconventional memoir. It seems the author continues to grapple with the meaning of the silence her sister and father fell into before their suicides and whether their silence mirrors her drive to write.

Detective Aunty: A Novel | Uzma Jalaluddin

so-so

I really like Uzma Jalaluddin's books, and this one was ok but not my favorite. This is the first of her cozy mysteries I've read.

When her daughter is accused of murder, Kausar Khan immediately travels to stay with her daughter and grandkids to help out and try to solve the murder.
