This current season is a quiet one. I'm not complaining... it is simply an observation. This week was spent catching up on things around the house. It felt good to get things put away after the retreat and getting things filed away in their proper place.
As did this, I enjoyed a few audio books.
It was a long book, and I was not overly engrossed in the story when they reached the Spanish War or his political life but hung with it because there were parts that offered glimpses into his personal family life.
I did enjoy the sections where he was in the badland explorations, though I thought his leaving his family for extended periods of time were inconsiderate. But appreciate his commitment to preservation of the land.
The Lost Bookshop follows three main characters: Opaline, a young woman in 1920s London who flees an arranged marriage to find freedom in the world of rare books; Martha, a woman escaping an abusive marriage in present-day Dublin, seeking purpose and safety; and Henry, a bookish researcher tracing a lost manuscript that could reshape literary history. This book tenderly shows how stories, secrets, and hidden courage can guide people toward healing and self-discovery. The two timelines converge.
I am not finished with the Bookshop but will be lost in the Bookshop as I work on a secret project over the weekend.
Do you have sewing or quilting in the plans for the weekend?
Leave a comment... I'd love to hear from you!
Keep Piecing,
