The scariest Three Pines. You get to love all the characters so much it is hard to listen to sometimes. Especially with the world, as it is.
Peace and community.

Thank you Joy Reid for writing this book. It was so enlightening to be able to know some of what it took to be brave enough to bring about change in the Deep South. I’ve been so inspired by this beautiful book. It is a love story. It is a gift to us all. Why would anyone choose to hide this history. Thinking of all the effort by some to ban books we desperately need to continue our understanding. I do not get it.

And one last thought…as I head out to a watch party for the debate that I hope will bring a black/asian woman into the presidency, like she says, “We’re not going back!”

I thought this book was predictable and anti-climatic. The antagonist was particularly stupid. I cartoon of a villain. Sorry, I’m very disappointed.

I am so glad I happened on these incredible books. Highly recommend you dive in to meet Dirk and Sally and all the many characters who will perhaps help you experience the world a little differently. I plan on checking out the author’s website to read the fact and fiction section. I won’t give any details here… but just say, these books are so engaging as they take on some of the biggest mysteries earth has from history and science, and bring them into a plot of fascinating discovery.
Enjoy the ride!

Love this story. Triggered a lot with me being a woman of a certain age. We need to be reminded just how unfair things were for women in the ‘50’s and 60’s. Elizabeth Zott is a great heroine for our times. These reminders about where we were are needed because we ain’t going back! Especially when there is still so much to do! Equity in the workplace with pay and promotion is an needed now more than ever, seeing as there is a renewed war on women’s rights shamefully condoned by our courts.
Eyes open everyone!

I really enjoy Quinn’s books and plan on listening to them all. Excellent performance by the reader too on The Alice Network. Very engaging!

I have been on a journey with Louis Penny for quite some time now. I became aware of the series after seeing she and Hillary Clinton doing the late night circuit, and after listening to two in the series out of order, decided this was a writer I loved. That sent me to starting again with book 1…Still Life, so I could hear the entire series. And what a happy decision it is! Having just finished Glass Houses the 13th book, I find that it has left me quite emotional. Brilliant. Brilliant. Brilliant. I won’t say more so I don’t spoil it for anyone. But if you listened to this book out of order…go back, start again with book 1. You, like myself, will be happy you did.
Thank you Louise Penny, you have made my solitary life rich with the love and caring you bring to Three Pines.
