Monthly Book Review: March 2019

The Forgotten Room by Beatriz Williams, Karen White, Lauren Willig - LOVED this! Three generations of women living/working in the same historic NYC home from the late 19th century through 1945 deal with ill-fated love. Each of the three authors tell one woman’s story so the characters are distinct, yet common threads weave perfectly together. I may not agree with all of their choices, but I can definitely picture a bit of myself in Olive, Lucy and Kate. 

Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens - this book is all the rage and now I know why. My mother said it has “rich prose” and she was right. The story of Kya the marsh girl is beautiful and sad at the same time. Abandoned and ridiculed, Kya creates a full life out of small and simple things in the marsh on the fringe of a small North Carolinian town that most of us would take for granted. When the town’s golden boy is murdered, it seems the whole town is on trial.
