The Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy by Rachel Joyce

4.0

Whew--this one pulled me in despite featuring a few of my less favorite tropes: flashbacks, a story we already know the (sad) outcome of, hints of a (sad) secret, and, oh yes, terminal illness, esp while I was also reading Cathleen Schine's They May Not Mean to But They Do. Still--Rachel Joyce can create likable characters! I wonder if she can ever give them happy lives?

*Thanks for Kathie for the lend!
