I promise it won't always hurt like this; Things in Nature merely grow

 I promise it won't always hurt like this - Clare Mackintosh says it all. Her words resonate, her grief is familiar even if her anger is not, and her initial inability to cope, followed by her learning to grow into her grief could easily be my story. A very good book, one that I hope to go back to someday soon. 

Things in Nature merely grow -  Yiyun Li
This book on grief is by a mother who lost two sons, in an identical manner a few years apart. It is a book about radical acceptance, and about an abyss that is very familiar to me. 

Book Club for Troublesome Wonen

There are so many ways one can write, and then can also add sequels to, a book about a book clip. One can keep adding characters and  have different things happening in their lives. This particular book by Marie Bostwick is written beautifully. It starts off a bit vague but then as she builds up the characters, especially the character of Margaret, it becomes interesting, and then adding this whole bit about the politics of the day makes it even more interesting. Very readable book and I've highlighted a few of the names of books which I would like to read based on what the Bettys in the book club in the book were reading.
