Welcome to Litsy!

This book was short but sweet- about a woman putting her life back together after her husband dies. Elizabeth Berg is becoming a go-to for when I need something hopeful.

Listening to the audiobook for The Water is Wide and reading The Year of Pleasures by Elizabeth Berg. #februaryreads

This charming novel follows the story of one woman whose husband dies and so she leaves her Boston home to drive across the country and buy a house in a small Midwestern town. The plot is a bit trite, but I love the writing and the author‘s attention to detail. She describes quiet moments so beautifully.

“When a relationship is so new, everything one says has disproportionate weight and staying power.”

Sweet but felt unfinished and unresolved. Ended rather abruptly.

I read this years ago. It‘s a book about second chances and moving forward from grief. The MC‘s husband dies, and she moves out of their house and begins a new life. Bittersweet. #GoodMorningHeartache #FierceFeb

Another hit from Elizabeth Berg!! Betta realizes my dream of moving to a random small town in the Midwest and starting her life over... Loved this one!!

It was a pleasure to read 😍

A promising start.
