Brain fog. Can't seem to get out of my own way--much less write my blog. Not sure what it is.........the Christimas decorations right after Halloween or the Christmas music before Thanksgiving. I'm strictly a ONE HOLIDAY PERSON. I can only manage one celebration at a time. Yes--I understand that Thanksgiving was late this year BUT the rule stands. NO thinking about another holiday until ONE is OVER. It's just too much for me. It makes me feel--betwixt and between--neither here nor there--on the fence-- DOWN RIGHT CONFUSED. I've even had difficulty concentrating on books lately AND that's where I draw the line--Trying to wrap my head around Christmas right now and am determined to enjoy it--and read a few books. Just finished a lovely novel by Lily King called
Heart the Lover. As the story unfolds, Jordan is an English major and senior at a college in Massachusetts in the 1980's. While taking a 17th century literature class, she meets Sam and Yash, best friends who are sharing a professor's house called
The Breach for the semester. She's invited to the house several times where they play cards, debate, party and share their ambitions. The trio gets caught up in a love triangle that ultimately changes their lives. The novel then jumps to 2010, Jordan is now a famous author, mother and wife living in Maine who thinks she has made peace with the past until an unexpected visit brings it all back. Don't want to say much more but this is a real gem that will stick with me for a long time. It's a great story with interesting characters who are forced to confront the choices they made when they were younger and learn to forgive. Enjoy.
