Welcome to Litsy!

I‘ve been a fan of Miranda‘s for years & am excited to have two of her books to read this month! Here, Hazel returns to Mirror Lake, NC for her father‘s memorial service & the surprising revelation that she is the sole inheritor of his house, leaving nothing to either of his sons. Uneasy & unsettled by the house itself, Hazel starts poking at the past as a drought brings up its own watery secrets. Engaging & fast-paced, I couldn‘t put this down!

This plot line was really good, for me there were too many side characters and names thrown so I had to concentrate 😅

"Geordie never just cried. He wept the uninhibited, noisy tears of filterless mourners, shrieking and thrashing the way the rest of us want to but learn much to early to control."

I loved every single page of this marvelous book. Reminiscent of some of the best CanLit, I couldn't help but think of Margaret Laurence and Ann-Marie MacDonald while reading.

One November day in 1967, two women disappear from a small community in BC. The book that follows is about the lives lived in the wake of that disappearance. It is beautiful and melancholy, with just enough glimpses of beauty and joy to maintain balance.

Maybe I need to give Hilderbrand a break. I‘m finding it a little boring the last few listens

This was one of my reading spots for the past week. We were at a cabin in Ontario's Near North, with essentially no internet or phone connections to the outside world. I spent a lot of time on the lake, and a lot of time reading on rocks. 6 books down for the week, all great reads, tagged was one of the best. Reviews to come!
