I'm not usually a fiction reader. My aunt bought it, but died before she could read it. Her son wanted me to have it - so I might make an exception.

Reading it now, also. I had to take a break for a bit… heavy stuff.

laurarbnsn.bsky.social•105 days ago

It's tough, but it's good.

Let me know how you feel 2/3 of the way thru. That’s when I had to stop and ask a friend whether I should keep reading…

Amazing novel. Damon's discussion about his nickname - in part - catalysed some of my thinking about Barnabas' nicknaming. That's what my SBL paper covers. Anyway, I told Barbara and got this response. Granted, it's not much, but still a response. I was a little starstruck.

Such an epic, ultimately beautiful tale. I’m sure I would have liked it even more if I had also ever read David Copperfield. 😬

Such a good book!

I LOVE her writing, and this one is compelling and heartbreaking

Phenomenal book. The audio version was riveting.

ddickieson.bsky.social•106 days ago

I loved the audio version so so much!!

I'm planning to read it before the end of the year.

As a native Lee countian I found it heard breaking. The opioid epidemic has drastically changed the area.

annatodd.bsky.social•105 days ago

I've been procrastinating on starting it for weeks! Not sure if I have the emotional capacity for the heartbreak

One of my favorites this year.

I read it this summer. It's so good!

cronevon.bsky.social•106 days ago

Right? I came for the Dickens references and stayed for the realism... And I don't normally like realism

laurarbnsn.bsky.social•106 days ago

It is such a pleasure to read.

ginadalfonzo.bsky.social•106 days ago

Pretty much my experience as well.

trueconsolation.bsky.social•105 days ago

I definitely read that as "David Copperfield" and I was like

gofoxgo.bsky.social•105 days ago

The author did a fantastic job with the name then!
