#litsolace WANDERLUNCH
• peach
• avocado
• baguette
• honey stick
• Wedge of cheese
• thermos of tea
• piece of dark chocolate
• handful of almonds

My variation of this is pictured. Pack a wanderlunch to anywhere -even your porch, but savor each bite and just sit with it. I packed this up this morning -going to take a walk come back and sit in my patio and just enjoy all the flavors.

Happy June! Summer is coming! ☀️ #MidsummerSolace

Decoration Day .. The holiday which we now commemorate as Memorial Day has its origins in the immediate years after the Civil War, when late-May rituals of remembrance and decoration of veterans‘ graves emerged and evolved spontaneously and separately in both the North and the South.⬇️

TheBookHippie Given the prominent role played by the Grand Army of the Republic (G.A.R.) in the official adoption of the holiday in the North in the later 19th century, a rather divided commemoration continued all the way up to World War I, which united the nation in remembrance, and widened its circle to encompass American veterans of all conflicts. In 1971, Memorial Day was declared a national holiday by an act of Congress and placed on the last Month of May. 6d
TheBookHippie I always, on this day remember people spitting on the veterans as they returned home from Vietnam and were screamed at and they were just boys 18,19,20 a lot of them. I also remember the week of my birth was one of the most losses of young men in a seven day time frame of younger soldiers. 242 young men lost their lives the week I was born. May their memories be blessings and may we never forget them. 6d
Leftcoastzen Thank you for this post! I have many family members who served , all from WWII & Korea era came home safe. I thank all who served and their families for all their strength. 6d
TheBookHippie @Leftcoastzen I have as well. I was also an Army Brat my dad was drafted when I was 6 weeks old to Vietnam. My grandpa AND his brother served in WW2 and my uncles in Korea. Everyone came home alive but some with PTSD some never recovered. 6d

Jane
Alec and Harold are albatrosses around Jane‘s neck
Alec does as he pleases
Harold moves to a hotel
Both WTAF moments
She‘s better off without BOTH 😵‍💫

Not sure what to think of it all.

📸ALEC !

Librarybelle I felt so bad for Jane. Here is where a strong woman is considered belittling and emasculating - so terribly awful! Alec and Harold were awful, especially Alec. 7d
mcctrish I kept thinking Harold was going to be gay. Alec was such an awful person 7d
TheBookHippie @mcctrish Could have been. He IRL married 2 or 3 more times… 🤷🏻‍♀️ it was definitely said about Alec. 7d
See All 15 Comments
Karisa Harold moves out and she keeps doing his laundry/bringing him dinner—wtf! Jane started out my favorite character but lost me there when she didn‘t stand her ground against Alec from the get go. I wonder what the real Jane was like… 7d
AmyG How she put up with Alex for so long….🤷‍♀️….he was vile. I read that Alec was basically in the closet. 7d
TheBookHippie @AmyG EXACTLY. 7d
TheBookHippie @Karisa RIGHT? Who does that?! 7d
Sargar114 @Karisa I wonder that too. She also started out as my favorite and then just made confusing choices. I don‘t know if the author knew what to do with a person like Jane. 7d
Karisa @Sargar114 Yes! I feel like the real person must have been so awesome—smart NYT reporter in the 1920s, helped launch the New Yorker. . . It felt so wrong for her to just roll over. If she did help him for that long, there must have been more to it 7d
Read4life I agree both men were horrible. To me, how Paul handled Jane‘s story for the second half especially is another example of the author not knowing how to write historical fiction. 7d
TheBookHippie @Read4life She has no clue!!! 7d
TheBookHippie @Karisa @Sargar114 anything I‘ve read paints her as fiercely independent & intelligent and very even keeled. Only slightly negative thing I‘ve heard is that she was pragmatic -but I think she was probably just logical and didn‘t hold grudges either. 7d
mollyrotondo I was disappointed that Jane‘s story ended this way. She was the strongest character in this whole book and then to have been weakened due to her annoying husband just didn‘t fit. It‘s like this author wants women to be weak and that strong women need to be knocked down a few pegs 😵‍💫🥴🤯 6d
Sargar114 @mollyrotondo it definitely feels that way!!! Probably why we‘re all upset about it 😡 6d

Peggy
Dumps the doctor
Thank goodness..
Her book and introducing Dorothy to her publisher was kind
She published another book
She meets her husband
Marries…

I liked her too. Not sure why she was put with an IRL doctor in this book.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Leech

Librarybelle I want to read her novels! It‘s on my list to explore. She grew a lot in this novel. The doctor was a joke…glad she left him! 7d
mcctrish I liked Peggy a lot, she‘s very modern in her being true to herself - hers is the happiest story, being a good friend, not dumbing herself down, working on her craft, setting goals 7d
Karisa Wait. So Peggy never dated Alvan either? Gah! It‘s like the author was saying, “So that‘s the reason Peggy Leech‘s books were psychoanalytical. She learned it from a man she was dating…” 🤦🏻‍♀️ Peggy was a character that I thought grew a lot. I‘m curious to read a book of hers too @Librarybelle 7d
See All 12 Comments
AmyG @Librarybelle I want to read her books too! 7d
Sargar114 Peggy was a bit confusing to me. I wondered if the author saw herself in Peggy as she wanted the most traditional values of all the women and that might explain why she chose to end the book about DP and her friends with Peggy‘s wedding…trying to make the “happily ever after”. It was quite bizarre to me. 7d
TheBookHippie @Sargar114 so bizarre… 7d
TheBookHippie @Karisa Nope. 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 7d
Karisa @Sargar114 Oh my god! You are so right! Ending it with her wedding to a rich guy was so opposite of what a book about these 4 powerful women should be about… 7d
TheBookHippie @Karisa 😵‍💫 7d
Read4life I know I‘m a broken record but for all the liberty she took in this book it might as well have just been fiction about random people. I agree, @Karisa , that a book (even historical fiction) about these women could have been so much more. 7d
TheBookHippie @Read4life so much more!!! 7d
mollyrotondo I didn‘t like Peggy in the beginning but she definitely grew on me. I also want to read one of her books. Couldn‘t stand the author‘s choices and agenda once again but I‘d like to get to know the real Peggy as author 6d

Winifred
And Eva
I like them both
IRL Winifred is straight
Eva is not
I like the poem
( At this point I‘m exasperated at the author but 🤷🏻‍♀️)
She quits acting to teach.

I really do like this character and Eva as well. I see there is a Biography on Eva 👀 it may appear in 2025…

Librarybelle I liked Winifred and Eva too. I‘d love to learn more about Eva! 7d
IndoorDame I‘m genuinely confused about how many of the things she‘s doing that make me angry are done on purpose and how many are done unconsciously. And why an editor didn‘t pull at least SOME of them? 7d
mcctrish I like both of these characters, I love the little background of how Winnifred leaves performing to directing and the fledgling drama company and their pushback poem and getting funding from the shithead director/producer 7d
See All 18 Comments
mcctrish If Winnifred is straight irl is this relationship true? 7d
TheBookHippie @mcctrish She‘s straight and the author made it up 🤦🏻‍♀️ 7d
TheBookHippie @IndoorDame SERIOUSLY!!! 😵‍💫😵‍💫 7d
mcctrish Why this gay story and not Alec? This is how Winnifred can survive the trauma ? I thought she married ? This is bizarre 7d
TheBookHippie @mcctrish Winifred IRL married. The author was making it up the rape the lesbian … Eva was and had many famous relationships why put Winifred in it is mind boggling. The author has an agenda. Clearly. She could have written it about Alec. But there would be no agenda 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️😵‍💫 7d
Karisa @IndoorDame @TheBookHippie @mcctrish Oh my god! Finding out the author had made so many of Winifred‘s key plot points up was so frustrating🥺🥴😡😵‍💫. Author seems to believe that lesbianism would have been temporary to deal with past rape or to avoid men (like gangsters)… but then WL was straight anyway and never attacked or followed by famous gangsters so… again, why not just give them all fake names then? These events did not happen🥴🤦🏻‍♀️ 7d
AmyG I did alot of googling and didn‘t realize how “off” ahe was about what actually happened. I can only imagine people read this and think it‘s true. It just really turned me off to this author. 7d
TheBookHippie @Karisa RIGHT?! WTAF 🤬😵‍💫 7d
TheBookHippie @AmyG 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 7d
mcctrish @Karisa this is so disappointing 7d
Sargar114 Just smh 🤦🏼‍♀️ I am excited at the prospect of reading about Eva though 7d
mcctrish 🤦🏻‍♀️ 7d
Read4life 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ So basically she used Dorothy‘s name to get people interested and called it historical fiction but didn‘t stay true to the real people. 7d
mollyrotondo This author wants to perpetuate damaging tropes and it‘s terrible she used real historical female figures to do that. Looking forward to learning some actual facts about one of these powerful women 6d

Dottie
Poor dog.
The “analyst” is worthless😵‍💫
Some friend Elinor is 🤦🏻‍♀️
It was nice everyone visited her in the hospital♥️
Dottie & Winifred friendship, facials and talks are good♥️
Neysa 😵‍💫
Seward 🤷🏻‍♀️
Writes and writes published hit after hit …
Seems to settle .
Or not…
Honestly the authors depiction of Dorothy is what she thinks Dorothy is or⬇️

TheBookHippie ⬆️ what she thinks abortion or suicide is. We‘ve seen none of the real Dorothy or even a character -it‘s like reading a narrative of someone‘s opinion..
And the stuff she left out 🤯
Complex does not equal weak
Puzzling that she wrote good about everyone except Dorothy -who she claims the novel is about.
End of my rant 😵‍💫
7d
Librarybelle I almost cried over Woodrow Wilson the dog! It‘s thanks to hearing everyone‘s prior knowledge of Dorothy Parker that I can see how limited in scope Parker‘s portrayal is in the book. From my experience, mental health is not a weakness nor is it one that should make the character seem pitiful and undeserving of a good life. 7d
IndoorDame I‘m really trying not to rant today. But the thing with the dog besides being heartbreaking, baffled me as a writing choice. It seemed like even if you agreed with the author‘s politics, didn‘t see subtext in her depiction of suicide, etc… and know nothing about Dottie, making her character cruel to her pets would betray the author‘s dislike of her blatantly and unnecessarily. 7d

mcctrish The part with Woodrow Wilson seemed dramatized - obviously there‘d be a record of the dogs death and getting help removing him but could the author dislike DP more? I certainly find her the least likeable character in this story because of how she‘s presented. 7d
Karisa I agree. “Complex 🚫weak” @TheBookHippie The portrayal of Dorothy and the acknowledgment in the historical notes of what was left out was baffling! I kept thinking why not just give the women all different names and call it historical fiction set in the 20s loosely based on real people. It felt like the book team were acting as vampires banking on Dorothy‘s fame for sales. The author seemed to think she‘d captured DP well too🤦🏻‍♀️ 7d
TheBookHippie @IndoorDame 💯💯💯💯 7d
TheBookHippie @Karisa 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 agree with everything you said. Just mind boggling.. 7d
AmyG @Karisa Yes…my thoughts exactly. I wasn‘t a fan how Dottie was betrayed. Yes, one author‘s fictional opinion. 7d
Sargar114 @Karisa that was my thought exactly! I don‘t know much about DP but this absolutely muddied the waters in what I know. It‘s sad that even if these were fictional characters the story wouldn‘t be any more readable. I almost threw the book again when WW died and then she just left him for the hotel to deal with. So awful, I get she‘s dealing with mental health issues and may not have the capacity to deal, but the author deals with it abysmally 7d
mollyrotondo I don‘t know why this book was “about Dorothy Parker” because the author never even talked about Dorothy‘s accomplishment. It was focused entirely on Dorothy‘s flaws and then magnified. I really didn‘t like that the author chose to write about her this way which shows she really had no respect for her. So why write about her at all? 6d
TheBookHippie @mollyrotondo The author clearly hates strong women or is seriously intimidated by them? It‘s horrific the way she wrote about everyone! 6d
TheBookHippie @mollyrotondo and you‘re correct ZERO respect. 6d

This is what I‘m giving to for my birthday this year.

https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2MUYTZOSLR71C?ref_=wl_share

This is mostly an FYI -period poverty is real. Please, if you can, bring supplies to a local teacher, periods begin earlier and earlier- elementary, middle and high schools need supplies.

It‘s quick easy way to give that will have massive impact.

tpixie What a great idea! 💡 1w

🏆

One -I grew up in a roller rink, my dad owned a rink from when I was 8 til I was 48. Two, I don‘t listen to TS because I am not a fan and Three, there is never not music on in my house. Four, I‘ve tutored at risk youth for decades and used music as a bonding moment -especially with poetry and rap and Five I was in a dance club from ages 12 to 28. 🎵🎶🎵

Suet624 Amazing!! Congrats. 1w

#SUNDAYBUDDYREAD

In case you didn‘t know Dorothy Parker wrote the original A Star is Born - yes that one- with Alan Campbell and Robert Carson.

🎥 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Star_Is_Born_(1937_film)

Ruthiella Wow! I didn‘t know that. Amazing, because at the core, all four movies are basically the same. The woman outshines her husband. He has other issues that make their life difficult. She is willing to dial back her career for him. He removes himself from the situation and the last scene… 😭😭😭 (edited) 1w
AmyG No way! I had NO clue. Great movie. It was just on TCM. (edited) 1w
lil1inblue I remember watching this version, but I had no idea Dorothy Parker wrote it! That's amazing. 1w
