Reckoning by Magda Subanski
Ohhhhhh gooooooddddddd. The idea of repressing a secret for
decades fills me with dread. Magda. Ian Thorpe. Ugggghhhhh. Am I doing
something wrong? What could I release upon the world and free myself from?
H is for Hawk by Helen McDonald
I have some suspicion about people who grieve too intensely
for their parents, under circumstances when their parents die at an advanced
age, and the griever is themselves a grown adult. Here are the qualifiers. I am
a particularly ungenerous person. I have recurring panic thoughts that one of
my parents might die. I am nightmarishly beset by karma.
This is a great book. I tried to buy a copy for a family
member after Christmas and it had rightly all sold out at the book shop I was
in.
