This book is hilarious. After finishing it, it occurred to me that a book hasn't made me laugh in a long, long time. Not laugh like this - and boy, did I need a laugh/break from my own workplace dramas. If you're wanting to snort-laugh at the absurdi ...more | |

I was really not expecting to like this but I was so engrossed by this. Amelie, a woman in her mid-50s going through menopause, is grappling with the loss of her husband Vincent, who passed away 18 months ago. In an attempt to unravel the mysteries of" Read more of this review » |

"Ammalie Brinks is out to sea; not literally of course, but figuratively as a new widow in her mid-fifties trying to navigate the now unfamiliar waters of life. Her "three keys" are gone--her husband Vincent, a job she loved, and the centrality of mot"

This is a gorgeous memoir/natural history - and it won the prestigious Burroughs Award for good reason! If you love birds, or want to know more, this book is for you! I have had my love of kingfishers deepened, which is a true joy. | |

“Because the difference between a friend and a real friend is that you and the real friend come from the same territory, of the same place deep inside you, and that means you see the world in the same kind of way. You know each other even before you do.”

“If you can't get what you want, you end up doing something else, just to get some relief. Just to keep from going crazy. Because when you're sad enough, you look for ways to fill you up.”

“For some reason I believed that if you fell in love it was a guaranteed thing that your path would cross with his, and I never wondered how if would feel to fall in love with a man whose future just couldn't include you.”

“Tell ya what I'm gonna do, see. I'm not going to hope. Now, you don't either. Don't hope your life will get better. Just make it so. Don't hope you are able to handle this baby. Just do it. Just be glad, just move fast, just do what you need to do. But for god's sake, don't hope. Just be...Just be...”

“Sometimes this disease reminds me of a Stellar’s jay.” And Zach, sweet Zach, says, “That was well put, Renny,” and winks kindly at her. She tries to stop the smile but it’s too late. She curled her hair this morning with pink plastic curlers and she’s glad she did that because what- oh-what source of joy is there left for her in this world? She is not interested in men and their sexual needs (oh, what a relief, when she took Ben’s hand off her breast decades ago and told him that she was just done with that stuff), but she could use a friend, maybe even a friend that would rub her stiff shoulders and hold her hand, and it might as well be a man since she can’t picture wanting a woman to touch her. Everyone is still smiling at her. Smiling extra hard. She is an honored martyr. She knows that they know. That she has already lost a daughter. And on top of this she has Ben, whose speech and thought has quite suddenly taken a turn for the worse. So she gets an especially high grade for her suffering. And that’s what humans want. To feel special. Even for stupid reasons. Bastards, all of them, she says to herself, to the friendly and smiling faces, all bastards except for maybe Zach. Maybe she hates them all.”

“She swishes her arms back and forth. “Okay.” Her voice is small and quiet like a mourning dove, like the soft gray on a mourning dove’s back.”
