[quote=Anonymous]I'm about 10% in to The Unmaking of June Farrow on audio (Libby).

Somewhat slow start, but I'm intrigued. Seems like maybe a bit of a ghost story or a time-bending novel connecting multiple generations of women in a somewhat rural town in the NC mountains near Asheville. Touch of magical realism, which is not always my thing, but so far so good.

On deck is Principles of Emotion, by Sara Read. I loved her previous book (Johanna Porter is Not Sorry), which was a story of about a middle-aged mom who gets pulled back into her complicated, pre-kid life in the art world. I loved that the plot moved quickly and the character (and plot points) seemed a bit zany at times. Yet the themes underneath were thought-provoking and substantive. Lots about our multiple identities - who we are in our youth vs. middle age, who we are pre and post parenthood, our talents/passions/ambitions vs. our day-to-day lives. (Plus a few other themes I don't want to mention in case they're spoilers). Not your average "mom fiction." Highly recommend![/quote]
