Welcome to Litsy!

This character study set in a small town is both devastating and hopeful. It is a quiet read, one giving the reader access to the secrets and sorrows of the lives of those living in Dalton. Full review at http://booknaround.blogspot.com/2024/10/review-road-to-dalton-by-shannon-bowring...

If we hold fast to grammar and the idea that grammar rules have never changed and therefore original intent and meaning can be deduced through written text, West Virginia, Kentucky, and Maine become unconstitutional and cease to exist in modern America. Just think about that for a minute.

I good mystery! Warden Mike Bowditch is the main character who is out to solve a murder in Maine. I like the authors style of short chapter each laying a piece of the puzzle. Enjoyable book which is wrapped up with a good ending of the who done it.

I think I've officially read my last Reese's Book Club book. She and I clearly do not vibe.

For those who loved The Road to Dalton for our #EuropaCollective #BuddyRead, the 3rd book in the trilogy will release in the USA on Oct 7, 2025

This author is interesting. He tells a good story. His text is non-linear. The subjects are not cheerful. I recommend it anyway.

I also had an #ARC from #Netgalley 😂 oops.

I want to read this after reading two of her other novels.

So enjoyable. I love how all the characters keep making appearances. I love that William and Elizabeth are back together. I love the idea of storytelling. Of course, Olive Kittredge. Don‘t know how long she can string the same long story out, but I‘m still in.

God, I love how she tells a story!
Without intending to, I ended up reading back-to-back pandemic books. The other was for library book group and had all the close-quartered sameness of that time. In contrast, ES delivers another of her quiet books and lets its rich and capacious interiority sing out.
