BooksInMirror | Feb 19, 2024 |  (  ) hmonkeyreads | Jan 25, 2024 | This is a slowly-developing story rather than a tear-through-it read, but the characters are interesting and daylight hours are long. The ending was awfully convenient and neat, but overall a pleasant diversion about finding a place to belong. (And as a librarian I enjoyed Sunny's observations of the library setting.) ( ) reader1009 | Jul 8, 2023 | This is a story about: loss, longing, and loneliness and how a group of people deal with it. The is the main character Kit, who has been through so much. Rusty who has lost everything that made him who he thought he was. A group of retired men- The Four- who meet at the library every day and shoot the breeze for hours. And it is about 15 year old Sunny who is performing community service at the library as punishment for trying to steal a dictionary from Barnes & Noble. Each character in this book is complex and fascinating. This is a fantastic book! (  ) zmagic69 | Mar 31, 2023 | fernandie | Sep 15, 2022 | geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

HTML: From journalist and author Sue Halpern comes a wry, observant look at contemporary life and its refugees. Halpern's novel is an unforgettable tale of family...the kind you come from and the kind you create. People are drawn to libraries for all kinds of reasons. Most come for the books themselves, of course; some come to borrow companionship. For head librarian Kit, the public library in Riverton, New Hampshire, offers what she craves most: peace. Here, no one expects Kit to talk about the calamitous events that catapulted her out of what she thought was a settled, suburban life. She can simply submerge herself in her beloved books and try to forget her problems. But that changes when fifteen-year-old, home-schooled Sunny gets arrested for shoplifting a dictionary. The judge throws the book at Sunny??literally??assigning her to do community service at the library for the summer. Bright, curious, and eager to connect with someone other than her off-the-grid hippie parents, Sunny coaxes Kit out of her self-imposed isolation. They're joined by Rusty, a Wall Street high-flyer suddenly crashed to earth. In this little library that has become the heart of this small town, Kit, Sunny, and Rusty are drawn to each other, and to a cast of other offbeat regulars. As they come to terms with how their lives have unraveled, they also discover how they might knit them together again and finally reclaim their stories Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
