I listened to the audiobook when this first came out, but didn‘t pay attention well… Last year I viewed the series and was blown away by Ewan McGregor‘s characterization of Rostov. Had to read the book again-

Photo on left is us 11 years ago, though currently his memories of us range between none and occasional haziness. We have essentially started over but in a beautiful way. At his living facility yesterday the activity director brought in fresh flowers/accessories and he made me a valentine bouquet 🩷🌹❤️
I‘m almost finished with book 5 of tagged series and it‘s delightful. Thanks to audiobooks 🎧

“Isn‘t it lucky when we‘re drawn to people who can teach us things we need to learn?”
Prosopagnosia (face blindness) is the severe inability to recognize people by face, both familiar and unfamiliar. This presents challenges for Sadie Montgomery, especially when she falls in love…

“This is what one thirsts for, I realize, after the smallness of the day, of work, of details, of intimacy - even of communication, one thirsts for the magnitude and universality of a night full of stars, pouring into one like a fresh tide.”

“I was more afraid of the truth than the lie. The truth would change the circumstances of my life. The lie was static. The lie was peaceful. I was happy with the lie.”

The Towles novella is not in Litsy database. It‘s funny and clever, greatly enhanced by its narrator John Lithgow. Roach has her moments too…🤗😅

I. I‘ve had a variety of jobs since I started working in 1966, but I retired from the last one - education director - in 2022. What I least liked was the job expectations of the higher authorities, and personnel turnovers.
II. 9 to 5 (movie) with Parton, Fonda, and Tomlin
