Welcome to Litsy!

Two beautiful souls found each other and survived many a danger and toils. This was an interesting tale told slowly and surely and with much description. The pacing lagged at times. This isn‘t my typical fare but it was enjoyable.

I read this for #FoodandLit #Samoa @texreader @catsandbooks

It's a novelization of Robert Lewis Stevenson's life. I didn't really get a feel of Samoa from it, but I did enjoy the relationship between RLS and Fanny. They both were ill at certain times in their lives and the ways they took care of each other were touching.

Anyone read any really good Samoa books?

The TV is finally off, and the cat has finally settled down. It‘s time to sneak in a few quiet hours of reading while I wait for the kids to get home.

Thank you, @Texreader !!!

Robert Louis Stevenson, his new wife and her son were on a honeymoon trip squatting in a falling apart cabin in the hills outside of Napa. There is zero mention of his wife and son. Lol.
Lots of description of the neighbors and the landscape. Surprisingly good. 3.5⭐

A historical fiction story depicting the life of Robert Louis Stevenson and his wife Fanny. I enjoyed reading this novel. The health issues of Stevenson had kept them traveling the world in the hopes of the ideal location for his concerns. They spent time in Switzerland, England, the south seas. 4/5⭐️

I‘m giving this book away. I gave it 5 stars. It works for #Samoa, our #foodandlit country for October. I‘m happy to send it to a Litten who wants it. Let me know! 😁
