Greta & Valdin: A Novel | Rebecca K Reilly

pick

I listened to this over audio, which was fabulous. Although I feel like I need to get a physical copy because I loved this book. Quirky, a story about siblings, family, love, figuring out your life, academics. I also love highlighting a character, Valdin, that has OCD (representation matters). When Greta talks about how her parents are always going to worry about Valdin because of his mental health (very validating for a mom of a kid with OCD &

ncsufoxes several other diagnoses). As a mom you always worry but as they enter adulthood it‘s a different level of worry about helping them navigate their life & mental health (especially since the US doesn‘t have a great system for mental health). 2w

bookandbedandtea I did exactly the same- listened to the audio from the library, then decided I had to have the physical book! I loved both Greta and Valdin, as well as their whole family. 2w

I read this book for a global reading challenge. I was deeply moved. Some parts were rough/odd, but by the end of the book, there is that sweet redemption and apology for jaded/hardened ways. I didn‘t expect to, but I cried and cried by the end. Beautiful visuals and connections with the ocean and spirits. I didn‘t like all of it but I am definitely glad to have read it. A beach read for me this week.

LapReader Australian kids study the movie at school. You might like it. I studied Once were Warriors at Uni too. It‘s a lot darker but very good if you want to learn more. 1mo

CordeliaGrey11 @LapReader I definitely will check out the movie! 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly I also watched the movie in school (college) and thought it was great. Better than the book—there was something about the book‘s writing style that I didn‘t like, though that was twenty years ago and I don‘t remember what that was! 1mo

CordeliaGrey11 @Clare-Dragonfly it is a little hard to follow the writing style! I can definitely see that. I look forward to checking out the movie 1mo

I look over at my sister lying on top of the piano singing 'Graceland'. I don't know if it's the best song to dance to, but V's dancing anyway, slowly, with his arms loosely around Xabi's neck, looking the happiest I've ever seen him. Happier even than when he got a flip phone for Christmas.

Everything was going well with the dinner. No one brought up colonisation or euthanasia or the Springbok Tour.

ChaoticMissAdventures I hate to say it, I love the All Blacks but the Springboks are my team... I am American and really shouldn't have anything to do with Rugby, but I have gotten 4 friends VERY into it!
