Three Days in June: A Novel
by Anne Tyler
From the 1st page on you will be captivated! (12/18/2024)
In 2 readings I finished this delightful but sad novel. Gail Baines was quite an incredible woman, both deeply insecure yet not afraid of expressing her opinion. Anne Tyler captivates us with her wonderful style of writing. A great read!!
Lucy by the Sea: A Novel
by Elizabeth Strout
unexpected surprises (9/17/2023)
I really liked and enjoyed reading Lucy By The Sea. Not at all complicated and was easy reading. Lucy was a bit manipulative but managed to get what she wanted. I personally think the author took Covid too far....I guess there would not be a story if she did otherwise.more

by Danielle Valentine
Exhausting but very readable (8/2/2023)

remembering India (1/3/2022)
If you read A Space Between US you will enjoy this book.
The characters were well defined and the country described as I remembered it. The second half of the book got me totally involved. Enjoy!
Honor
by Thrity Umrigar
love..... (10/14/2021)
I loved A Space Between Us and looked forward to reading Honor. Even though I have been to India and witnessed much...what Honor provided was a true friendship and love between 2 women who never would have met if not for the crime committed. How sad if this was looselymore
The Forest of Vanishing Stars: A Novel
by Kristin Harmel
never expected to like to it until........ (7/15/2021)
I really got into the book and could not put it down. My resistance was...oh no another war book. But this was different and Yona proved to be an incredible character. A different take on the war presented by a most unusual woman who could and would take chances on her lifemore
