Days of Awe by Lauren Fox
4.0
Book on CD read by Luci Christian
Isabel Moore’s life has been upended in this last year. Her husband moved out, her daughter has become a sullen pre-teen, and her best friend died in a tragic auto accident. Now she has to figure out who she is and what she wants in life.
This is the kind of character-driven novel I really enjoy. As Isabel reflects on past events and her relationships with best friend Josie, daughter Hannah, and ex-husband Chris, the reader comes to know her. I felt her confusion, pain, loss, loneliness, but also her joy and hope for the future. This is a woman I would love to be friends with, to laugh with, share inside jokes with, commiserate with about bad work days or a husband’s or child’s idiosyncrasies.
This is the first book by Fox that I’ve read; I’ll definitely read another.
Luci Christian does a fine job performing the audiobook. She has good pacing and really brought Isabel to life.
