"I saw there was a second South. My whole life I‘d only seen one. I loved my South, though I could see how it was broken, plagued still with the legacies of slavery and war and segregation. History and a thousand unseen walls divided up the territory . . ." Pic of the real Monroeville (Harper Lee's Maycomb). I suspect there are many similarities with Jackson's Birchville. #truth #SisterLove

“Most people don't think fate has a sound. But it does. Everything has a sound if you listen carefully enough.” This is a lovely read 💙🩵💜

so-soHmm. Does it work? This novel is actually two separate stories in each in a kind of distinct contrast. Chapters alternate. One is a medical student who abandons his career to run off with a married woman. The other is a convict who gets lost during the 1927 Mississippi flood, and finds himself floating alone in a small boat with a woman in labor.
These stories are ok, but really only for Faulkner completists.

A title with #Roses from my stacks. It‘s been quite a while since I read this one but I‘ve always liked the cover image. 🌹♥️🌹
I‘ve been working through this as i‘ve had time. I might have finally gotten to the point of enjoying it. The first 150 pages were not all that fun.
pickI love Ellen Gilchrist. I can't even explain why. Her characters are so flawed and I don't think I'd ever want to have a conversation with any of them. Well, not from this book anyway. I get completely invested though.
#Two4Tuesday @TheSpineView Thank you for the tag!
1. Hmm, the forced slow down of it and a walk on a snowy trail when I can.
2. The Sugar Queen, hits all the winter feels. I‘m about ready for a re-read of this one!

Several more 5-star reads in November but the tagged book really warmed my heart. #12booksof2024 @Andrew65
