A review by natalie_is_reading
Bowlaway by Elizabeth McCracken

4.0

4.5 stars. This was exactly the book I needed to read! A moving epic slightly zany historical family saga! Beautiful language, I pulled quite a few quotes out of it and thought “they get it!”. Also to me Bertha felt a little bit like Tilly from melancholy play but in an another direction so loved making some connections. Very enjoyable read! And now I know what candle pin bowling is so that’s neat!
