so-so

Looks like everybody in the world loved this book but I thought it was just ok. Not much dialogue, but a well drawn picture of rural life in Indiana in the 1900s. Our narrator Zorrie has a tough life farming, but she thrives, handling life‘s disappointments so well and moving through her life in a thoughtful way. Only 161 pages but I found myself wishing something, anything, interesting would happen to her.

TheBookHippie The trick is to read it in sections ♥️ I adored it. 10mo

My pick for April‘s #12BooksOf2024 seems to be a popular one. 😉 Zorrie was an unexpected pleasure, a quiet story of resilience & a book I wouldn‘t have found without #SundayBuddyRead. It got a rare ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from me.

Honorable Mentions were: A Psalm for the Wild-Built, The Second, Escaping Mr. Rochester & A First Time For Everything.

TheBookHippie, Andrew65

How I loved this one! It was simply beautiful. Not my usual read, and one I read for #SundayBuddyRead in April, this follows Zorrie as she navigates life, from a young age up to her final years. It‘s bittersweet, and the pacing makes it absolutely perfect.

Incidentally, I read a companion of this book that came out very recently, and I did not enjoy it as much. There‘s just something about this slim novel that is breathtaking. #12BooksOf2024
