I've just started Gateway to the Moon, by Mary Morris, after a spate of lightweight mysteries. It tells the history (going back and forth in time) of one family's flight from Spain to New Mexico in 1492, to avoid persecution. Crypto-Jews very much interest me, so I hope the narrative continues to hold my interest.
I just finished Benediction by Kent Haruf. I really loved Plain Song and its sequel (also by him). This one was not bad, but a bit dismal and the ending left me somehow dissatisfied.
Recently read on Hoopla... The Only Woman in the Room by Marie Benedict... about actress Hedy Lamar, who was also an inventor. It was decent.
Hope you enjoy it as much as I did! Great book!
Well I am a finicky reader and the Hinton book started out with his courtroom speech which was repetitious (he kept saying how he was praying for the judge and other people for instance). I would have preferred straightforward narrative and am now on to The War on Normal People by Andrew Yang.
Just downloaded A Circle of Friends by Maeve Binchy from our library.
"Do not accumulate for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and thieves break in and steal. But accumulate for yourselves treasure in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, your heart is also." Jesus
Today I'll be starting The Buccaneers by Edith Wharton. You know.... something light.
