Garden reading while the husband gardens. 😆

This is a memoir of a man who reconnects with his childhood best friend from boarding school after said friend is released from prison for the shocking murder of a family member. The story opens with the author meeting the friend at a train station and then goes back over their school years together and the times they spent at each other‘s houses.

Christine What @Tamra said - I want that to be my summer motto: “Garden reading while the husband gardens.” 😄 6mo

CarolynM Perfect! Interesting book, too😆 6mo

LeahBergen @TrishB It was! 6mo

LeahBergen @Christine @Tamra @CarolynM I assuaged any guilt (not really) by bringing him frequent drinks. 😉 6mo

LeahBergen @Cathythoughts Thanks, Cathy! The little dwarf lilacs should be blooming soon. 6mo

Jess_Read_This Your role as beverage manager/landscape designer is a crucial one! That SF is one that I‘ve been mulling over purchasing. Looking forward to your review of it! 6mo

LeahBergen @Jess_Read_This Oops, I forgot to reply! I enjoyed it. The writing takes a bit of getting used to at the beginning (he was mostly an academic author so there was a teensy bit of disconnect for me) but the story really powers it along. 5mo

Jess_Read_This @LeahBergen All of this is good to know before I pick it up. But it sounds like one worth reading! 5mo

Love this literary journal. It‘s expensive for me to order it from the U.K. but it is worth the indulgence. 💗

I‘m currently reading (and really enjoying!) this #SlightlyFoxed book about a South Kensington Catholic boy‘s school. It follows its history from 1934 until the present day with lots of tidbits about eccentric teachers, headmasters, and quotes from past students.
