Thanks for weighing in on that, @anasmom, I too, got “salty discharge” as Seinfeld would describe being teary, happy to read your opinion about that book. ( my son now lives in Chicago area, so thought I may have had bias about the setting ect. ) even though parts were moving, it was an uplifting journey.
Now reading, “Where the Crawdads Sing” never have read this gem, are ya jealous I saved this one for these grim pandemic times, when a good book is needed ?
In the light, but -don’t- go -near -books, I recently read
Fannie Flaggs “ Welcome to the World, Baby Girl…ummmm 1 or most 2 stars.
