This is a bookclub book for me, and my first Liz Byrski, I really enjoyed it. Have you read her novels? I know they always went like hotcakes at the shop. Should I seek out more?
I am so glad I had the opportunity to read A Month of Sundays. A book about people loving books and book clubs; what an easy five star for me. I get so much out of book chat and meeting people who read like I do, and it’s so nice to see that represented on the page. ‘We’re just like Reta in the book’. It was also so good to see things like women in their 60s and 70s living their best lives; their friendships, agency and self actualisation being discussed ‘we’ve all done what our parents, the church, or some other authority told us we should do and be. And frankly I don’t think that’s been good for any of us’
It was so easy to differentiate between the bibliophiles and they all had interesting backstories and characteristics.
I also loved being in the blue mountains, and Clooney
This novel was published in 2018, and the copy I read was a worn library book, but I was really surprised by how fresh it felt, an online bookclub, an uber app. big little lies..
