A Little Hope by Ethan Joella
4.0

Thank you, @bookclubfavorites, for the gifted book.

I finally know why so many have loved this beautiful little book! A Little Hope is now available in paperback, and A Quiet Life, his newest book, will be out on November 29. I can’t wait to read it now!

About A Little Hope: “A Read with Jenna Bonus Selection

An “immersive…illuminating” (Booklist) and life-affirming novel following the residents of an idyllic Connecticut town over the course of a year, A Little Hope explores the intertwining lives of a dozen neighbors as they confront everyday desires and fears: a lost love, a stalled career, an illness, and a betrayal.”

A Little Hope is the quiet story of a small town community in Connecticut over a year’s time. The characters are neighbors, and their lives come together and connect, just as any community would, through illness, dreams, work, and daily life. There are multiple narrations, and the storytelling is so intimate and heartfelt, you easily grasp and invest in what’s happening.

Don’t miss this book if you are looking for something special, and if one of your favorite reasons to read is to be transported to another place with characters you grow to love in a story “where not much happens,” other than daily life, but *everything* happens all the same. A Little Hope slowly, quietly builds to a crescendo of power and… well, hope, in the most poignant of ways.
