Wow. The hype is very justified.

I’m not usually a historical fiction girly so you know it’s good if it hits for me.

There are some stories about grief that I come across where the author just gets it exactly right and this is one of them. This book

“All that glisters is not gold;
Often have you heard that told:
Many a man his life hath sold
But my outside to behold:
Gilded tombs do worms enfold.”

Still a 5-star read.

It's cliché, of course, but Hamlet is my favorite Shakespeare. It's cliché for a reason! In this read-through, it seemed to me a meditation on grief and how grief can be so all-consuming that it drives us to madness. Of course it

WOW. Do I have a new favorite classic?

This was unputdownable. If you love really cutting dialogue, you're going to eat this up. There is a lot of "I can't believe he said that" and "I can't believe she said that" in this novel.

Tim O'Brien
“I want you to feel what I felt. I want you to know why story-truth is truer sometimes than happening-truth.”
Tim O'Brien, The Things They Carried

Garth Greenwell
“As I walked along that path,

I felt drawn from myself, elated,

struck stupidly good for a moment

by the extravagant beauty of the world.”
Garth Greenwell, What Belongs to You

Anne Lamott
“Lighthouses don’t go running all over an island looking for boats to save; they just stand there shining.”
Anne Lamott

Colson Whitehead
“And America, too, is a delusion, the grandest one of all. The white race believes--believes with all its heart--that it is their right to take the land. To kill Indians. Make war. Enslave their brothers. This nation shouldn't exist, if there is any justice in the world, for its foundations are murder, theft, and cruelty. Yet here we are.”
Colson Whitehead, The Underground Railroad

Colson Whitehead
“Slavery is a sin when whites were put to the yoke, but not the African. All men are created equal, unless we decide you are not a man.”
