Welcome to Litsy!

Finished this one up tonight while cooking a pot of Tuscan bean soup. A bit repetitive between all 3 main characters especially at the beginning. Decent historical context which shows the author‘s research. The audiobook narrator was exceptional and really helped make this an enjoyable listen. If I tried to it I probably would have gotten bogged down. I give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️and would recommend to anyone who enjoys historical fiction.

Someone told me this was really good several years ago!

Slow burn to boredom

I really enjoyed this one. Three women friends get together to sort out a deceased friend‘s house. The women‘s relationship is real and complicated.. ‘ It was all this lying, all the unspoken things that suffocated…‘
I must read more by Charlotte Wood, I was never inclined to read Stone Yard , but I will now. Love her writing. Thankyou @andrew61 for your review, it got me reading this book.

Oh how I love to make a book stack! I just saw the post for #14books14weeks and of course had to join in. I could really use some help with the oodles of unread books I own so these 14 are all from shelves. 10 physical books and 4 e-books. Picked using a random number generator but I‘m actually really pleased with the variety. Will hopefully work to keep me interested throughout the summer.

Thanks to these Litsy folks for today‘s prompt:

The feet binding was interesting but made me cringe.
