Contemporary story - a rural community working to protect one of their own against a backdrop of refugee experience and border policy. Recommended

This is the story of Bob Burgess, a tall, heavyset man who lives in the town of Cosby, Maine, and he is sixty-five years old at the time that we are speaking of him.

Loving this, even though I haven‘t read all of the preceding titles. Bringing the title characters together in small town Crosby, Maine in a post pandemic world.

#whereareyouMonday
@Cupcake12
Reading Akin has brought back memories of our stay in Nice last year. We visited many of the places mentioned. And I just realised we were staying only a few minutes from the Hotel Excelsior!
This photo was taken on the roof of the MAMAC, in the reflection you can see the hill MC Noah climbed to visit his grandparents' grave.

Ruthiella I love it when I can read about places I‘ve been to and can recognize in the text. 😃 3w
Jeg Things I have read in books have taken me to many places not only in my head but in real life. Eg, Burial Rites took me to Iceland. Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil to Savannah. Love your pic. 3w

The dark wood was green and gold, green where the oak trees stood crowded together with misshapen twisted trunks, red-gold where the great smooth beeches lifted their branching arms to the sky.
