My Tuesday post where I’ll ‘tease‘ you with the cover, blurb, and first paragraph of one of the titles from my own TBR.
This book is a title I received from Scribner/Simon & Schuster via
Edelweiss and I’ll be reading it soon.
Today, Tuesday November 22, 2022 I want to introduce one of the ARCs on my TBR.
This novel will be published on November 29, 2022
Publisher: Scribner Books
ISBN: 9781982190972 – ASIN: B09RX4TJ9Y – 304 pages
1) A hopeful novel about profound loss… intriguing.
2) I wonder how the three main characters lives will converge.
3) I’m interested in how individuals deal with grief and loss – and how smells evoke the deceased person more than any other sense.
4) I am enjoying literary fiction more and more and I’m eager to discover new (to me) authors.
“When Chuck Ayers thinks about Cat, he thinks about the faded yellow-and-white-striped towel that lately he has been wearing around his neck like a wrestler on his way to a match. That damned towel.”
Is this a title that you would consider adding to your TBR pile?
Why, or why not?
Let me know in the comments.

This looks like a book that I could read. It’s about regular people dealing with regular issues. I must admit that the opening sentence doesn’t appeal to me and I have a darn inkling that in the end everything will go back to roses and moonshine, which in real life is mostly NOT the case. But writing a book without a happy ending is just not done in US literature.

You state many valid points, however I must disagree with you about the happy endings. I’ve read several novels where the ending is rendered very realistically. Either that or open-ended, where the author leaves the reader to decide how they think the book will end.
