Recently finished an advance copy of WILD DARK SHORE, by Charlotte McConaghy, releasing March 4. Absolutely phenomenal. Completely immersive, enthralling, unputdownable, AND deeply wise. 5 stars.

"I'm not trying to hide from the truth
but to balance it,
to remind myself that there are other truths, too.

I need to remember that the earth,

fragile as it is,

remains heartbreakingly beautiful."

~Margaret Renkl, The Comfort of Crows

A book sits open on a white window ledge next to a clear drinking glass and a white vase...
a snowy view and winter branches through the window.

Recently finished & recommend THE INHERITANCE, by Trisha Sakhlecha.

New release, psychological thriller, U.S. debut, twisty, centers a wealthy Indian family gathering on a private Scottish isle, murder, a final page that packs a big punch.

What most struck me throughout Five Tuesdays in Winter by Lily King was an almost pervasive sense of nostalgia. Themes related to childhood innocence, & to alternately welcome & unwelcome means of coming of age are explored in nuanced ways.

At twilight, a sunset glows yellow, orange and blue on the horizon. A tree in the foreground is silhouetted against the sky: it looks like coral or a cross-section of a brain, but lacey.

As we close out another episode of #SundaySentence, I just wanted to say Thank You to all the wonderful readers who have stoked the fire each week with some great lines from literature. Y’all are the colors in a sunset to me.
