Back After This

23 March 2025: Our little book club read Linda Holmes's Back After This for this month and all three of us loved it. I could go on and on about all the ways it made me feel seen (sometimes almost uncomfortably!), but maybe just one (fun) quotation for now--from a part that made my toes curl: “His ear had worked like mine” (186). Cecily realizing that Will listened to that recording--more than once--and closely? And he hears what she hears? Baby, that's a keeper!

I have loved so much of what she written. She's just the best.
