Abide with Me by Elizabeth Strout
5.0

4.5 STARS

Weirdly, one of my most beloved niche genres is novels about small-town pastors. After the death of his wife, the reverend must navigate his grief, single parenthood, and the pressures of his position in the community. It's a short book that packs a lot of punch. If you love GILEAD by Marilynne Robinson or THE ALL OF IT by Jeannette Haien, pick this one up.
