Keep trying. Keep showing up.
4.5 stars Another book that I thought would likely be boring so I kept putting off reading it but I should have trusted the excellent writer that is Geraldine Brooks. I don’t know nor care about horses. And yet, this book is excellent. The deep dives into horse racing and the Smithsonian were excellent. The characters were each deeply memorable. Loved it.
I really enjoyed the time I spent with this story. Julia Whelan is a great writer and a great narrator. Her dialogue was a joy to listen to. Lovely.
Quick, easy read. Enjoyable but also forgettable, at least for me.
I have mixed feelings about this one. I thought the first half was a lot stronger than the second half. Lots of trigger warnings on this one and it was hard for me to tell if it felt just a bit too gimmicky in parts.
Several people said this was their favorite Bohjalian novel so it must be me. I thought it was okay, I enjoyed reading it and I liked the wilderness bits and i liked the hollywood bits but overall, it’s not a story that will stay with me as much as some of his others have.
Not sure why I resisted reading this one for as long as I did. I think I thought it was going to be far more boring than it was. It was more about being a mother than it was about anything else. I loved it. Maggie O’Farrell is a fantastic writer. |
