pickI could relate to characters but it felt strange how main characters' family members were barely mentioned.
This didn't go under my skin even though I loved to follow how everyone went through their sorrow.
I loved the writing but wasn't happy with the ending. Which didn't exist.
This was really pleasurable and easy to read.

I listened to Missing Mom by Joyce Carol Oates, the story of Nicole discovering her mom, murdered in her home, and grieving the first year of life without her. Oates writes dynamic characters with emotional precision. That being said, Nicole isn't likable and the grieving, though arguably authentic feels protracted. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
so-soI enjoyed this book overall, but it had some slow & unbelievable parts. I don‘t think I would recommend this book, but I am glad I stuck with it.
I just added a new book to the store! Only $23 with free shipping! It‘s a collection of short stories 😃

pickA pick or a so-so - it's a very good story, but it truly did not require an 800-page treatment.
Inspiration for title from Walt Whitman
Do all the novels published by JCO show up here? This one is dedicated to her husband in memoriam.
It's like fine print here, there are so many.
Looking forward to diving into this 800 page beast once I'm finished reading Ridgerunner.
New acquisitions from the used bookstore.
