I only have one book to discuss today that I finished in the last week. I’ve already started the second one in the series of four.
My Name is Lucy Barton by Elizabeth Strout
Lucy is a grown woman who came from a humble, yet abusive background. She overcame her troubles and moved away. Now, she’s lying in a hospital bed in a prolonged recovery and her estranged mother comes to stay with her for a few days. There are tensions between the two, and some are examined. However, they mostly spend their time gossiping about people from the past and giving the nurses silly names – all the while talking around the substantive issues. I liked the quirky characters. The book is by the author who also wrote Olive Kitteridge and Olive, Again. It was good.
Were supposed to get colder weather again next week. Yay.
MK out.
