I adored this book. Watching Frankie as a young girl and then as she matures , and how she sees Hetty at different times in her life. Beautiful writing , I loved this story. #PersephoneClub And what do we think of Hetty !

andrew61 My copy arrived in today's post so I'm looking forward to reading it after all these positive reviews. 2h

4.5⭐️ I really didn‘t know what to expect from the book when it was chosen for a #canlit #bookclub I am a part of; in fact, I was a bit wary about it. But I was very surprised by how much I enjoyed the book, despite the heavy topics that the book touches on. #2025 #bookreview #fiction #canadian

I read this in all but a single sitting. I had to know about Hetty!

Hetty is a woman of mystery. Is she friend or foe? 👀

LeahBergen Ooo, you‘re already finished! 👏 I‘m thinking I‘ll speed through it, too. 4d

Hetty Dorval. by Ethel Wilson | Ethel Wilson

I had to look up the village of Lytton & the Thompson River. I didn‘t know it had been decimated by a wildfire in 2021. 😒 Rebuilding very slowly.

Repost for @LeahBergen

It‘s now August so that means it‘s time for one of our #PersephoneClub reads!

@LeahBergen ‘s pick (my pick!) for us this month is Hetty Dorval by Ethel Wilson. This is a casual buddy read; read and comment on each other‘s posts and reviews as you see them. We usually aim to finish by the middle of the month but that‘s not written in stone. 😉 And anyone is welcome to read along with us, of course!

LeahBergen Thanks for the repost! ❤️ 6d

July reads! +1 Reactor magazine short story collection.
Pretty good reading month, definitely ended on a strong note. Both The Forgotten Beasts of Eld and afterimage were great.
