Come Again
by Robert Webb
3.5
Yay, incredibly enough I finished a book. It's been two weeks since I last touched a book - I blame it on the Christmas/holidays craziness and me discovering another musician to become obsessed with (I love music even more than reading). Anyway, imagine my horror to discover I had 4 audiobooks waiting in my library overdrive, Come Again being one of them. I confess I couldn't remember what/who prompted me to add it to my holds; upon noticing it was very brief I thought I should pause the music and try to listen to it. Let's just say that had my family been believers they would have praised god. I'm an all or nothing kind of person, so for the past two weeks, I've been playing the same two albums on repeat for hours on end. Anyway, timing is everything and this book was the right kind of novel I could concentrate on. Having the delightful Olivia Coleman as the narrator made it all that more special. I didn't even grumble about some aspects that needed a good dose of suspension of disbelief, something I usually struggle with.
I should say what this was about. Forty-five-year-old Kate had recently lost her husband - the love of her life. Her grief and guilt are enormous. She now hates her job - she's a computer expert at some sort of history and internet cleaning company, which deals with cleaning some very nasty people's online presence. She's kind of had enough and doesn't feel like there's anything to keep her going. This sounds like a downer of a book but it wasn't.
Was this perfect? Far from it. Honestly, given my complete avoidance of anything book related in the past two weeks, I almost feel elated I finished a book, be it just an audiobook.
Back to listening to music.
Wishing you all a great 2022.
