Only Woman in the Room | Marie Benedict

Still reading this historical fiction about the life of Hedy Lamarr before she started using that name. Early in her teens, she was a stage acts in Austria, but becomes tangled up with a mysterious and powerful man who very clearly has a hand in the second World War...Hedy's own Jewish family urges her on, pulled with warnings about getting too close to this potentially dangerous man, but, out of fear, sends her directly into marriage! I'm hooked.

The Wicked City | Beatriz Williams

Pickpick

Had our book club meeting last night, topped off with a gin tasting, for The Wicked City by Beatriz Williams. A slightly slow start turned into a page turner that had us, as usual with Williams's novels, bouncing between 2 decades...the prohibition era 20's and the 90's, each highlighting a strong-ish female lead character attempting to find her feet.

Tangerine: A Novel | Christine Mangan

Pickpick

Details on this bizarre friendship are trickled out from the viewpoints of both Alice and Lucy. Something has transpired between them that keeps the pages turning to discover the truth about how it caused one to flee to Tangier and the other to follow! Well-written characters!

Working my way into this day and, frankly, into this year. Yes, I realize it's April; however, good resets happen when you read books like these...more to come on Essentialism because it's not a book to rush.

French Exit: A Novel | Patrick DeWitt

Smartly funny, irreverent, and, at once pitiful and inspiring. The characters of this book are deeply flawed, but at times, admirable. This is a quick read, but totally worth it.

America, through the eyes of a Bengali mother who longs to see what her son might have. This author peels back layers of assumptions, stereotypes, and expectations to replace them with strange, but beautiful experiences.

Should hit bookstore shelves this summer.

Sunburn | Laura Lippman

Do you love her? Do you hate her? The main character in Sunburn is hard to peg. She's full of partial truths and strange behavior, but is she capable of murder?? This book is a fun ride, great for a pool side read!
