This is a really short #audiobook. I definitely recommend it. It's about losing someone and then having to keep living anyway.

Wow. This #librarybooksale find was not on my radar til today. I went looking for more Wiesel but found this novella instead. Reminiscent of Beloved. Quick read. Definitely worth reading.

It seemed to Rosa Lublin that the whole peninsula of Florida was weighted down with regret. Everyone had left behind a real life. Here they had nothing. They were all scarecrows, blown about under the murdering sunball with empty ribcages.
