Is it a novel though?

What a beautiful post, Barbara, about acknowledging our reality and still moving forward as and when we can. And I've added yet another book to my list because of you! Thank you!

I'm still hunkering down in my malaise after the election. But it's good to see a twinkle of light in what you've written. I've repeatedly been disappointed by Booker and other prize-winning or short-listed novels. My tastes (or lack thereof) apparently are at odds with those who award prizes. But I'm intrigued by the concept and by your comments, so I'll take a look.
