• #2 in The Darlings series • #1 (My Darling Bride) was a 5 ⭐️ read for me (back in December last year) • unfortunately it has one of the tropes which I don't particularly enjoy in romance books •

What a re-read, what a book! ♡
• my 22nd (!) reread of this year • winner of 2011 Pulitzer Prize • a collection of interrelated stories spanning a few decades, from the 1970s to 2020s • the stories aren't told in chronological order, and I really enjoyed this unusual format! • favorite stories: found objects, good-bye my love, great rock and roll pauses, pure language •
