Another worthy #BlameItOnLitsy read! Thanks all 😊

The story really pulled me in from word one. I had a few eye roll moments, but over all I found it hard to put down.

From before radio to the smartphone how the world changed and one man exemplified going with the flow. Highly recommended!

Very much felt like an elderly coming of age story for 70 year old Tommy who thought he could back to his old life. I kept hearing Billy Joel in my head, "then the king and queen went back to the green, but you can never go back there again." It also felt Twilight Zone-y as Tommy walked around Downtown not understanding why it all looked so different, and feeling like an "old fool" for thinking it'd be the same.

I thought the story would carry the weird writing style. I thought wrong. #HailTheBail

What a fascinating imagining of the people who shared in the life of an ancient text. It really brings to mind just how much was lost in book burnings of yore.

I always enjoy EH's books, especially her earlier ones. The characters feel more authentic and the stories less formula. This one drew me in so completely I felt like I was in the bistro watching the story unfold.

I think there was a point that was pro women, but it was lost in all the digressions #HailTheBail #BetterBooksAhead

Not my favorite Conroy. The descriptions of Charleston were long-winded and boring; and quite frankly, annoying. But the story, oh man, what a story! It was compelling, ugly, thought provoking, gripping, and worth reading.

I really enjoyed this slice of life family story. Being close to the MC's age, there was quite a bit I could identify with.
