I'm giving this book one more character perspective to see if I like it. Norah didn't really do anything for me, but it wasn't bad. I'm just ambivalent. Onto Chapter 2 to see if I like it more!
Hoping that this book picks up. I'm on page 37 and not really feeling it so far. Any Littens finish it and think it's worth powering through?
I can't track down my Kindle at the moment so I'm starting on this ARC. Beyond excited!
PS: isn't this TBR sticker so cool? I'm helping Litsy by beta testing the new updates before they come out. Let me know if you're interested in helping out by testing and reporting anything weird :)
Character is one of the most significant aspects of a novel for me as a reader. Kathleen Donohoe does it up right in this gripping debut of six generations of firefighters' families. Such a terrific read so far. #debut #librarylove @hmhbooks
These are the ashes of fiery weather, of nights full of green stars from Ireland...🚒☘
pick5⭐️ This is a fantastic book with a big cast of characters, all of which are beautifully drawn and heartbreakingly human. Digging into several generations of a fire fighting family, the book jumps in time and to different narrators but that enhances the story rather than be distracting. The accounts of bravery in the line of duty and especially of 9/11 are startling in their accuracy. I was flying though pages to follow this family. Read now.
Multi-generational story of a fire fighting family and the women who have shaped it? Yes PLEASE.
Multi-generational tales, Irish families, firemen? Yes, please! My Friday night read.
SO excited! I didn't think I would get approved for this e-galley from netgalley, but I did! This is my #tbrtuesday a little early. I love firefighter stories the same way I love cop, doctor, paramedic, and lawyer stories; this is jumping to the top of my TBR list once I finish The Kept Woman.
pickMulti-generational story Irish American women in a NYC firefighting family. I liked the story and the characters. Lots of skipping between time periods (which I like).
So true. So true.
pickEngaging and compulsively readable. This one pulled me in and kept calling back to me.
