I loved reading about women pilots in WW2. (My late mother-in-law took flying lessons back then but her instructor made a pass at her and she quit. 😡 She would have enjoyed this.)
The modern day part of the story was a bit goofy, but satisfying. Sookie is a middle-aged Southern housewife who's long been under the thumb of her domineering, narcissistic mother. cont.
“She took her small bottle of smelling salts out and took a few sniffs and sat and waited.“
This is 2005! I read it and thought, wow, the South is another country. And then was very amused when the author says that very thing in the bonus material.
pickThis is a first edition copy from my library….that cover. Pub date 1976. I‘m glad I went into this book blindly bc you think you‘re just getting a coming of age book in the 1950s in the South but it‘s so much more than that. Covers the severe racial injustice that was going on at the time and the path of one young privileged white coed from slight concern for the plight of blacks to an a more evolved compassion and understanding. #Alabama
pickTwo-Step Devil is a haunting Southern Gothic novel that follows the unlikely bond between a reclusive visionary known as the Prophet and a teenage girl named Michael, whom he rescues from a life of trafficking. Blending lyrical prose with philosophical inquiry in deeply Southern atmosphere.
My choice for the May #ThematicCozies theme of #Flowers/Plants is #6 in the Darling Dahlias series, by Susan Wittig Albert. I have read several others in this series and enjoyed them.
What will everyone else be reading? 🌸💐🌺🌷🌻🥀🌼🌹🍀🌿🍃🌴🌲📚📚📚
