Basic Black with Pearls | Helen Weinzweig

pick

“Lola” is living her best life. Having left a husband and two children, she travels the world directed by coded messages interpreted from magazines for assignations with her spy lover. But does she?

As she waits, she reminisces about past meetings and her past life. The narrative is fully interior and dreamy, with a nebulous timeline and hints that not is all as it might seem and the narrator might be even wholly unreliable. Quite fascinating.

Liz_M Digression: The most unreliable omission for me is where does the money coming from to pay for all this travel? 3y

Billypar Congrats on the new cat! And you pretty much spelled out my plans for today 😸📚 3y

quietjenn @vivastory it was really quite lovely 😊 3y

quietjenn @BarbaraBB I liked it, but I'm glad that I read it a bit earlier than I usually do, so I'll have time to ruminate on it before our discussion. 3y

quietjenn @LeahBergen yes, our sweet senior kitty passed away earlier this spring, so we've been feeling a bit lonely. Took a trip to the shelter and ended up adopting two! 3y

quietjenn @Billypar Thanks! I hope you enjoy your day (and the book). 3y

BarbaraBB The more I think about it the more I like it! 3y

merelybookish New kitties are so fun! Sometime like having miniature horses galloping about. 😁 3y

Suet624 Aww, I want a kitty. 3y

rubyslippersreads @merelybookish My downstairs neighbor says she can hear my cats galloping through the house. 😹 Congratulations on the new kitties @quietjenn 😻 3y

merelybookish @rubyslippersreads Oh good. After I wrote that I thought @quietjenn would think I was so weird. But they really do sound like little 🐎🐎 😹 3y

quietjenn @merelybookish haha, nothing to worry about. We often hear the upstairs cats and this one I think is little but dart-y, so I can totally see it! @rubyslippersreads thank you! They are super fun. 3y

quietjenn @Suet624 I do recommend the experience 🙂 3y

rubyslippersreads @Suet624 I second the recommendation from @quietjenn 😸 3y

Leftcoastzen Aww!😻 2y

PaperbackPirate 😻 congratulations! 2y
