My reading travels this week took me to upstate New York with a female soldier who returned from Iraq invisibly broken. I also ruminated on having babies and how that changes life. I am still at the medical clinic with a father hoping to have his son "resurrected." I am also still entrenched in upper class Britain between the wars with a family modeled after the Mitfords. And I am in the 1930s bouncing between two sisters, one a nudist and one a divorced mom, who have a terribly betrayal between them but who are about to reconnect after many years. Where did your reading travels take you this past week?

Sunday Salon: The Week In Short

So a good week it sounds like, except for that trip to upstate New York. ;)
ReplyDeleteMe? I've only been to L.A. this week where a private eye was looking for a son for a mother and father. This week, I'll be back in L.A. with him during some riots in the 1960s. I'm not sure where else I'll go yet.
Sounds like you had a very busy week. I've been busily reading nonfiction and it's too much...time for some fiction, I think.

Sunny Savannah sounds good to me. Last week I was in a hospital in Chechnya with an 8 year old trying to survive the war. Enjoy your reading.
