Welcome to Litsy!

Not quite as good as her memoir but a solid debut from Adrienne Brodeurr (Wild Game). Once again Adrienne explores dysfunctional families. Told in multiple pov‘s during the summer of 2016, this book hits on male privilege, family secrets, art and sexual manipulation. #ARC @SimonSchuster #BookClubFavorites

Such a wonderful #HF story about the 1811 Richmond Theatre Fire that killed 72 people mostly women. The story begins with the fire and then the aftermath following a handful of survivors. Ripe for bookclub discussion, I couldn‘t turn the pages quick enough. I appreciated the addition of the Author‘s Note which gave more context. This book touches on the cruelty of slavery, society struggles between men & women and preconceived idea of heroism.

Thanks to Simon & Schuster and #BookClubFavorites for gifting me this #ARC. As much as this novel is a solid mystery it‘s also a wonderful coming of age story. When 12yr old Cork and his buddy stumble upon the dead body of a revered tribal elder, Cork‘s childhood will be irrevocably altered.
This book is a prequel to the beloved Cork O‘Connor series. I enjoyed the historical fiction aspects of the novel but I found some parts hard to believe.
