I missed posting for last Monday’s link-up on Sept. 19th, but that’s OK, because I haven’t made a lot of progress since!
Lessons by Ian McEwan
Both epic and intimate, the story of one man’s life across generations and historical upheavals, Lessons is a deeply affecting novel about love, loss, ambition, and resolution, from a modern master. – From the Publisher
I received Lessons to read in advance, but I’m only halfway through and it was published this month already. It’s almost 450 pages long. Each part of the main character’s life story has been interesting in its own right, but so far the story of this “one man’s life” hasn’t coalesced for me into a “deeply affecting novel.”
Happy Holidays by Craig O’Connor
Happy Holidays is a collection of short horror by local author Craig O’Connor, which I’ve been reading along with the 2022 holidays. I’m now caught up through St. Swithin’s Day and am ready for the big one…Halloween!
