Welcome to Litsy!

Happy Egg Day 🥚

When the children were young I began collecting eggs. Later on, my middle school students called me Mrs. Egg (in lieu of Eggleston).

Another cold, rainy day this May 🙄 so the cats and I have opted for naps and reading. A former Litten sent this novel to me years ago, and today, I decided to read it. Hard to say why now! 🤷
The MC has left her life behind and flown to NZ to stay at a farm owned by a poet she met once. She is not okay! The story is moving between her present journey and the past events that led her to run away.
So far, so good.

According to Ye Olde Goode Reads, I have read 4 of Clowes' books since 2016, but Monica is the first 5 star. This one truly had the capaciousness, & complexity, of a fleshed out novel. , This has much in common with other Clowes works I have read but it was def. a step beyond. One of the first books that I read after my move back in Feb. & I specifically recall it breaking through my mental fatigue at the time as a special work.

This is a wonderful little guide for what to say and what not to say (and what to do/not to do) when someone is going through a hard thing. I‘m a medium, hospice volunteer and an abortion doula—and there is always something new I learn. A favorite word: Kummerspeck: grief bacon. It means, eating your feelings. We all experience Trauerklob sometimes; we must acknowledge it when others do to, but gently approach it. This book is great for ⬇️

This book has been optioned for a movie, so I thought I‘d read it. It is one she wrote before writing historical fiction. There seems to be a a time warp in which she is able to see how her life would have been if her husband hadn‘t suddenly died. 🐶 Bandette is a little embarrassed by her shaggy look this morning! #DogsOfLitsy
