Honey in the Marrow by Emily Waters
5.0
This was phenomenal. The representation of older people coming out and coming to terms with their sexuality. I think that was very much needed.
The trauma of losing Stella husband and trying to deal with the grief. I think that this book portrayed this subject very well. We saw how the death of Ron affected Stella and sent her into a downward spiral. From the depression, and how that affected Stella’s daily life to the anxiety of doing anything new.
The relationship between Addie and Stella is very sweet. Addie knows her aunt is struggling and is still doing her best to be there for her.
As the relationship progressed between Stella and Elizabeth, having the worries shown from Stella made this more comforting in a way. It’s nice to know that most people have these inner turmoils regarding sexuality. Especially older people. That needs to have more representation I think.
This book took me for a ride and throw the hoops. I stumbled across it randomly, and Im very glad I did.
