Welcome to Litsy!

I have no idea how or where I stumbled upon this book but I‘m so glad I did! Fans of “A Tree Grows in Brooklyn” and Garrison Keillor will appreciate the themes and the storytelling. Reading the descriptions of Trevanian‘s other books, I‘m not sure if I‘ll continue reading his stuff but this one was a good read. Full disclosure though, I did just skim the chapter “Love on Pearl Street”, and got the gist on what 11 year old Jean-Luc got up to 🤭🙄

I wish you guys could hear the pouring rain in my picture, it‘s just perfect reading weather! A rainy night with no plans, a good book, and a Guinness leftover from Monday 🍀🍺 -Logs off-

Had to start this one today for obvious reasons lol 💚🇮🇪🍀

Continuing to unearth the bottom of my tbr pile, I”m currently reading this one about a quilting circle in depression era Kansas. Fun fact, persian pickle is a quilting term for the paisley pattern.

This was my first book by this author but it won't be my last. I thoroughly enjoyed this story of friendship, loyalty, & hard times. It's Kansas in the 1930s & small town/farm life life is harder than ever. It hasn't rained in years, it seems, & (most) everyone pulls together to get by. The story focuses on a group of farm wives, the Persian Pickles, who meet weekly to quilt. Over one late summer we get to know these remarkable women & learn ⬇️
