This is a literary thriller that is filled with history, love and conflict. I just started and wow! Coming 5/1 from @emmethirschmd 📘: Without looking it up, and judging only by the cover, would you guess the author is also:- a member of the clergy- a local farmer- a doctor - an architect- an artist #newbooks #thewolfshalldwellwiththelamb #BooksMatter #ReadersMatter #AddtoTBR #goodbookfairy ...

New Book ReviewGood Grief by Sara Goodman Confino was an absolute pleasure to hunker down with. Her stories make me laugh and show strong heartfelt relationships. Confino forces two generations to live in close and somewhat forced proximity to the forefront of the story. Barbara, widowed for two years, is ready to have her own mother fly the coop and begin doing life on her own with her two young kids in tow. After day one with the kids on her own, she feels relieved and happy until she sees Ruth, her mother-in-law at her doorstep. Of course, Ruth wasn’t invited but feels it’s her turn to help.How can Barbara kick her mother-in-law out when she too is grieving the loss of her son? What follows is heartbreak, heartwarming banter, lots of emotions, and bringing together these two women who come from entirely different eras. The sixties seem so progressive compared to her mother-in-law’s era. Soon, the two hilariously begin to fix each other up and they find their way forward together. I so enjoyed this one. It was delightful! @saraconfino Sara Goodman Confino @lakeunionauthors NOTE: I read this ages ago & just realized I never posted a review. 🤦🏻‍♀️📘: As an adult, have you ever lived or had an extraordinarily long with your parents? I have and it's not always easy. #newbookreview #bookreviews #bookrecommendations #bookrec #bookrecs #addtoTBR #readnow #goodbookfairy ... See MoreSee Less
