The Speed of Light - Elizabeth Rosner

I can't even remember where I heard about this book but so glad I found it. It brings together three individuals who all have their own tragedies to deal with and who are all broken in some way. Through friendship and bearing witness to the struggles each character faces, all gain some strength and a new start, while still honoring the past. Poignant yet powerful.

The Miniaturist - Jessie Burton

After a brief  hiatus I'm back at it, sorry for the absence.

So this book was a page turner for me and was very well written. It's historical fiction and one thing it taught me is I'm glad I wasn't alive in this time period. There were some very dark themes and the social norms in this time and place are horrifying. The treatment of LGBT people is simply shocking. The story was great though and I will watch for other work from this author, great writer.
