Wish You Were Here; Jodi Picoult
Ballantine Books - November/2021
One
March 13, 2020
When I was six years old, I painted a corner of the sky. My father was working as a conservator, one of a handful restoring the zodiac ceiling on the main hall of Grand Central Terminal --an aqua sky strung with shimmering constellations. It was late, way past my bedtime, but my father took me to work because my mother--as usual--was not home.
I started this one yesterday and I am finding it hard to put down. Hope you enjoy the intro. The book releases in (2) weeks on November 30th.
I have this one on my list! I can't wait to dig into it. Thanks for sharing...and for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteYou will love it Laurel - I'm that confident!
DeleteYes! I want to know more about the restoration of the zodiac ceiling and the family relationships.
ReplyDeleteWasn't that an awesome opening? I loved it.
DeleteI'm anxious to get my hands on this book! I love almost everything Picoult has written and this is at the top of my wish list. I hope it continues to entertain you.
ReplyDeleteI love it so much and hope to finish it tomorrow - an easy read, not a lot of characters really and the audio is awesome.
DeleteI have an ARC of this novel and am eager to read it. It sounds really good and it's good to know you're enjoying it.
ReplyDeleteIt's an awesome story thus far.
DeleteI love that opening!
ReplyDeleteThe opening really spoke to me - "what a dad."
DeleteI do like beginning.
ReplyDeleteMe too, how sweet and what an experience!
DeleteThe story is so good but, I'm recommending that readers go in blind on this one.
ReplyDeleteI do like the intro, lots.
ReplyDeleteI usually enjoy this author so I'd keep reading. It sounds like a good one.
ReplyDeleteI like the way the intro reveals so much in so few words.
ReplyDeleteI noticed that as well Sam. Some authors can ramble on and still the reader fails to get a coherent image yet, the one tells so much with so little.
