Slow & subtle. 45-yr-old Gil, orphaned but wealthy, moves from NYC to Phoenix & makes friends w/ the neighbors. Activity vs. passivity, bullying vs. kindness, human activity vs. nature, resistance vs. avoidance. Clipped sentences, quirky humor. Couples. Grief & ghosts. Wealth & responsibility. But Gil‘s lostness edges annoyance. P176 “A lazy solution, his form of self-defense: throw money. But it was better thrown. He felt a little lighter.” 2022

I feel as though a lot of people are not giving this read the time it needs to get going. It is a very slow burn, but beautifully written. You really get to know the main character. #bookspin #tob @TheAromaofBooks

Such an endearing book. It‘s not a plot driven story bursting with action. Rather, it is a book where the main character gradually unfolds for the reader as he discovers himself within a small found family. I loved Gil so much. And what a beautiful ending.

Jas16 I really loved this one too. 1mo
Tamra I need to read the physical copy because I‘m sure I‘d like it based on the Litsy love! I tried the audio and for some reason couldn‘t stick with it. 1mo

This was a great little audio. It tells the story of a 13 year old girl, born without arms, who moves to Arizona with her adoptive parents. Feeling out of place in her new school, she befriends a boy with Tourette‘s and together they find a mystery to solve, and help each other through their challenges.

Suet624 Sounds like a Great storyline. 1mo

Loved this quiet but profound book about one man's life. I also loved The Children's Bible by the same author. The writing has an ease to it. Here is the last line of the novel:" How you came not from a couple or a few but from infinity. So you had no beginning. And you would never end." 4.5/5 ? #TOB23 #52bookclub23 #inheritance @Clwojick @BookBelle84 @jennifer80 @Librarybelle @triplem80 @AshleyHoss820 @LauraReads @KarenUK @britt_brooke

jlhammar This was a good one. And what a great last line! I'll have to try The Children's Bible sometime. 1mo
rmaclean4 @jlhammar The Children's Bible has really stuck with me! 1mo
