A short, emotional, beautifully written book. I don't want to say much because I don't want to give anything away. 😬 #bookspin

I seem to have fallen into a series of high quality well told tales of pastoral lives. Lives lived simply and well despite hardship. They have a healing way. Not something I would seek, but keep finding me. I am better for it. This one from Erdrich and Tookies list of short perfect novels. #192025

I read this upon Ann Patchett‘s glowing recommendation and thought it was just stunning. She is actually why this is back in print and writes the foreword in my edition. It‘s also one of Louise Erdrich‘s favorites. One of the Short Perfect Novels listed in the back of The Sentence.

Seems that I'm alone in not liking this book. I can't put my finger on why I didn't like it, but the only reason I finished is because it was so short.

I did come across something I've never had happen before - this book isn't on Goodreads! Can I suggest that it be added? It is technically a novella, but I was still surprised to not find it.

⭐⭐/⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

More of a depection of a moment than a traditional novel. 80% of this is a conversation between a parishioner and a priest -- a confession in his mind, an accounting of facts in hers. Interesting and well-written, but not particularly compelling.

Four hours in I‘ve given up on being productive while listening to audiobooks, and succumbed to the couch and this short Irish novel. #24in48

My weekend long runs usually take a few hours, plus travel, rolling, shower, refueling time. So the one perk of not being able to run right now is the extra time I have for reading. Which is currently translating to my third book of the weekend. This came highly recommended by a dear friend, and @StephanieY added her praise, and my dad read it in the two days he was here this weekend. With all those trusted recommenders, how could I not?

CAGirlReading I'm sorry you're not able to run right now but I totally get the more reading time. I love running but there's always this part of me that thinks about how much I could have read...😄📚📚📚 7y
