I am so surprised someone else also recently read The Odd Women by George Gissing! It is one of many I saved from my parent’s shelves. My dad was an English prof who specialized in Dickens’ portrayal of women and I believe the Gissing book provided an interesting contrast. Anyhow a fun coincidence and an odd book! I also read and loved Lessons in Chemistry. Thank you for your posts!
Congratulations to you both on the Chatham News and Observer story. Thank you for the book recommendations. I just finished Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus and absolutely loved it! I cannot express how unique and wonderful it is. I also would recommend Demon Copperfield by Barbara Kingsolver, Yonder by Jabari Asim, When We Were Sisters by Fatima Asghar and The People We Keep by Allison Larkin. For kids I would recommend Opening the Road, Victor Hugo Green and His Green Book by Keila V. Dawson, We Are Here by Tami Charles, and An American Story by Kwame Alexander. My love to you all.
I always love your book recommendations! I've added some titles to my "want to read" list.
Thanks so much!
