#WomensHistoryMonth A book that isn‘t referenced as much today ,I have never forgotten it. Creativity is not enough, Tillie was a creative person working regular jobs while raising 4 girls , despite her longing to write, a life so busy leaves little time to find a room of one‘s own. Lack of time,lack of money, lack of hope. To be taken seriously, to be considered,in her era of 1st wave feminism, most of the publishing gate keepers, old white guys
pickI thoroughly enjoyed this Golden Age murder mystery. The characters are almost all over-the-top cariacatures, and as such, were hilarious. Gossip and judgment turns to murder and there‘s suspicion all around—and there‘s no shortage of witty dialogue and clever characterization along the way. This was my December #BookSpin (yes, another belated review!).
pickLike with most short story collections, I liked some more than others. So many were heartbreaking. But also full of love of family. Sony‘s Gone might have been my favorite, but The Bones of Louella Brown was also a favorite. #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks
pickThe darkest of dark humour in this story introduces me to the mind of celia dale + early 1960's England as two villainous characters swindle old ladies out of their meagre assets. The seedy nature of their enterprise finds Maisie + Josh Evans taking elderly Flo into their home + quickly manipulating her into a grim life trapped in her bedroom. The image of Josh creating his scrapbook will stay with me for a while. Bleak but bizarrely I loved it.
Yet another from my extensive collection of seasonal crime novels….
