This was the appropriately named brewery in Charlotte, NC that I hung out at yesterday!
In Charlotte, NC for a work trip this week, and yesterday I spent some time at a local brewery with the book I brought. Book accompanied by a yummy pretzel and tasty Plum-Rosemary-Orange Sour Ale. I was impressed, you can really taste the rosemary in this drink!
Side note: any Charlotte/Raleigh Littens around? I have one more day here (I have to drive back to Raleigh tomorrow from Charlotte) and would love a good bookstore recommendation!
5 star read for me. Genres: Historical (WWI), literary. The novel follows identical twin sisters Peggy and Maude, bindery girls for Oxford University Press. Issues of class, women‘s rights (or lack thereof) are woven throughout the book. What this novel brings to the forefront is the erasure of women and their contributions in history. If interested, read Williams other book The Dictionary of Lost Words first-there is crossover between the books
“But when you‘re imperfect yourself and you come across someone more obviously broken than you, it‘s both heartening and comforting.”

I‘ll be even prouder to live on a blue island in a sea of red.
“No man is above fate and the natural turn of events, no matter how much they try to manipulate things no one can control.”
I‘ve been reminded about the devastating effects of book banning during this read.
“Whatever was restricted from her, she wanted it as a means of protest.”
A little too chilly to sit outside but still…I‘m reading.
