linneahedvig 's review for:
The Folded Clock: A Diary
by Heidi Julavits
Reread November 8, 2020:
This was the beginning of my November rereads, which I loved and might do every November. The first time I read this book it all flowed so nicely and was so soothing to read. This time, because of everything that has happened in the world since 2015, Julavitz felt a little more grating. Her thoughts and worries felt more petty. I'm sure that anything I wrote in 2015 feels this way too. A lot has changed since then and this was an especially weird year to reread stuff. I still listened to this book so fast and enjoyed it a lot. I'd like to find more books like this that just give a lot of thoughts, mostly soothing, but without trying to present any kind of moral or self-help.
