10 April - thorns

I‘ve been sick, so I‘m a couple of days behind.

Crazy New England weather in CT this week. Gray clouded sky one day, then a brief appearance of the sun another day- magnolia tree bud, star hyacinth, now snow Friday & today! So so happy Litsy is working today-“Where books make friends.” Friday I missed everyone!

Quick chapters. Fairly interesting. Oddly, not as cozy as I‘d anticipated.

Edwidge Danticat‘s writing is clear and succinct. She is a master of the essay form. This book covers a wide range of topics, both personal and global. One of the later essays in the book is about Haiti and its political climate and it sounded eerily familiar. Definitely a book to add to your library. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
