I finished the Covenant of Water last month – what a journey and some of the most beautifully written words I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading. But, while I enjoyed every page of this book, it can be dark. And hopeless. The secrets families keep and shame they bury. Unexplainable death and tragedy.
I just finished The Women by Kristin Hannah, one of my favorite authors. I feel blindly ignorant about the service of women in the Vietnam War and how people treated them when they got home. It made me so angry at the American government but so inspired by women who choose every day to serve, in the service of others. But also very angry and upset about the concept of war in general.
I had planned on reading Didion’s Year of Magical Thinking but I think I need some sorbet.
Give me something light! Something I can still sink my teeth into. Maybe a post divorce book about a woman finding herself and her power or some Eat, Pray, Love shit. Maybe something with a little spice that will make me blush.
