 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.

    1. The story is so good but, I'm recommending that readers go in blind on this one.

    1. I love it so much and hope to finish it tomorrow - an easy read, not a lot of characters really and the audio is awesome.

    1. I 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.
