Henry, Himself by Stewart O'Nan
reflective
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? Character
3.75
A sweet, heartwarming old guy book. Henry is 75 and is reflecting on his life. The author shares every thought and every action, so that you get to know Henry very well and it's very slow. For example, Henry doesn't just enjoy a cookie on the dock watching the sunset. He gets a cookie, he takes a bite of the cookie, and he chews the cookie.
This was a random find on Libby, suggested by the app bot probably after I read Ove or How the Penguins Saved Veronica. I liked it enough to research it and found out it's actually the 3rd book about these characters, I think with Emily, Alone as the first one in the point of view of his wife.
He had a good dog, so that was a plus.
