Welcome to Litsy!

Rereading for bookclub.

The lives of several women are intertwined while they live in a boarding house in Washington, D.C. in the 1950s.

Pretty good yarn. Not sure how quickly I‘d bother to pick up another though.

Have YOU read this book? It is GOOD!!

PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER - CRIME

A couple getting a divorce, a dead, pregnant nanny, a child who won‘t speak because she saw her nanny fall from the window, and a best-interest attorney who has to help the courts decide who gets full custody after the divorce are the characters we meet.

Post WWII 1950s. Quinn‘s novel opens with a scene of a dead body in a DC women‘s boarding house.How did this happen?Who committed the deadly deed?The house became a home for a found family when Grace March moved into the top floor.She initiated Thursday night shared pot-luck dinners & overtime these eclectic women became a bonded,tight-knit group.The house was a character in itself,coming alive when the women move in.

Just seen this on FB.

I'm behind on posting. Finished this for #AuthorAMonth over a week ago. It was quite good. The author pulls together a broad mix of themes centered around DC in the 1950s.

I‘m catching up on my April reviews this weekend & I loved this book! A good thing as it was a trifecta of challenge prompts: #AuthorAMonth #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead & one of the books from @JacqMac ‘s #AuldLangSpine list. This is my third Kate Quinn book & maybe my favorite. The audiobook was stellar & I finished & listened to the author notes twice + an interview with the author & narrator who really brought the characters to life. ⬇️

I‘m a day late for #literarycrew it started with a murder and a cast of characters I mainly abhorrd. 100 pages in and I wondered if I‘d keep going. Almost immediately I started liking it more and cared who died and what was going to happen to them all. The politics of the day aren‘t too far off today‘s
