Recommended on this site. I think.

Two books in one: serious medical condition, detailed hospitalization and treatments and also meditation on all of life’s love, poetry, family, and memories.

Lots of stars and awards. Made me uncomfortable because I didn’t know which book I was reading and couldn’t relax into the lengthy back and forth digressions.

Palate cleanser: a bunch of Mike Lawson /Joe DeMarco thrillers. Saving newest title, Untouchable, for dessert.
