Welcome to Litsy!

Absolutely loved this one! Fantastic characters and a truly compelling storyline. Adding all of Kate Quinn‘s other books to my TBR now! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I finally finished! The authors note described this as a pandemic Mish-mash and that is what it felt like. It came together for to a somewhat interesting conclusion; but definitely felt disjointed. Some stories I enjoyed, some j didn‘t, the house as a narrator just felt silly. But good enough for me to want to finish. Read for #literaryclub

I really enjoyed this book. It was interesting the way it was set up and how we learned about each of the women in the book. The inclusion of the recipes was such a fun aspect as well. I have it a 5/5

Rereading for bookclub.

The lives of several women are intertwined while they live in a boarding house in Washington, D.C. in the 1950s.

Post WWII 1950s. Quinn‘s novel opens with a scene of a dead body in a DC women‘s boarding house.How did this happen?Who committed the deadly deed?The house became a home for a found family when Grace March moved into the top floor.She initiated Thursday night shared pot-luck dinners & overtime these eclectic women became a bonded,tight-knit group.The house was a character in itself,coming alive when the women move in.

Just seen this on FB.

I'm behind on posting. Finished this for #AuthorAMonth over a week ago. It was quite good. The author pulls together a broad mix of themes centered around DC in the 1950s.
