Since I set this aside in September of 2023, it’s time to call it. I’ll never go back.

I love the author’s work but not even Meryl Streep’s narration could save this one for me.

Maybe next time!

Marilyn (recuperating from hip replacement surgery I don’t believe forcing yourself to finish a book. Two attempts is enough to call it quits. On to better reads, Jan!

Commonwealth and These Precious Days are my favorites!

I'm happy to have your company on Outlier Island 😉
