TODAY‘S PROMPT: ABOUT MARRIAGE

Tess, Tess, Tess, what did you do?  Is that the only decision you could have made?

THE STOLEN MARRIAGE can only be described as addictive, amazing, and fantastic.

I'm fortunate that I can listen to audiobooks while I work. It makes the day so much more enjoyable. Comfort is the second in a series, and my only five star this week. The Tale of Despereaux is a three star read All the rest are four stars.

I fell asleep so this one is a day late.

This is around the time my resolve to review books consistently fell apart as usual.

I love this one. Ana Castillo‘s writing is beautiful and poetic. Carmen, despite having polio as a child, is a renowned flamenco dancer in Chicago. I love reading about Carmen, her passionate love affairs, her relationship with her family, and her strength.

#AutumnPlease! Day 24: #WorldPolioDay reminded me of Wilma Rudolph, Olympic champion and world‘s fastest woman, who suffered from polio as a child. Ever since she was a baby, Wilma had always been sickly, weighing only a little over four pounds at birth. Yet despite this, she remains a sprightly young girl who preferred jumping and running to simply walking. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-7uT

A wonderful book inspired by a letter the author received from the daughter of a Polio survivor who lived in an iron lung. I listened to the author-read audiobook, which was excellent.

Buried in my TBR pile, I found this one about 23 year old Tess, dealing with her secretive and distant husband, and find purpose working at the local hospital during a polio epidemic in 1944.

These are 2 books I read about polio - it was a real fear in the 1950s. Oshinsky‘s book was a comprehensive history, while Kehret‘s book is a personal memoir.
