Frozen River is a historical fiction about a real midwife, Martha Ballard, in colonial Maine. A woman is raped; later, one of the two men accused of the crime is found dead. Politics and fingerpointing ensue.
How to Age Disgracefully is a fun little British story about an eclectic assortment of people who cross paths at a community center in a lower-middle-class neighborhood. So far it‘s funny and charming.
pickI need HELP please from my LitsyFamily. I‘ve completed my FIRST draft of a book about starting a career in Technology- so would love to find readers who are willing to read and provide feedback. If you are interested pls write in a comment. Thanks in advance 🙏
When one of my sons is off in New Zealand I love to stay in his house in Vermont where he has a second floor window seat. Especially on the rare days when there is a winter sun. Enjoying this book at the moment although the warmth of the sun keeps lulling me to cat naps.
After having a disastrous date with someone found on an app, Daphne says: "she didn't want to go straight home, she needed time to decompress, so the memory of that oaf didn't infect the atmosphere of her lovely apartment. Her safe place."
This is seriously wisdom we all need from our elders!
pickAfter reading the very depressing Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont, I needed a happier read. Loved this! I highlighted so many great quotes. A few of my favorites:
"She appeared to have jumped out of the frying pan of sexism and into the fire of ageism. The final frontier of isms.
“Mature?!?” said Daphne. “Good grief, I‘m not a cheese. Or a herbaceous border." ?
More in the comments.
pickFunny, heart warming book with lots of loveable characters.
pickA group of senior citizens take on the task of saving the community center (which also houses a daycare, AA meetings, and other groups). It is a humorous (with moments of sadness) look at an aging group of people who become friends and allies. Overall, a very good read.
One last book in for the year!
