It's nice, but at the same time, I'm going a little stir crazy since I live alone, and we have a stay at home order in place for like all of April.

I listened to Educated a couple of summers ago. Appreciated the story and the writing, but the experience was mostly unpleasant. Still, I'm glad to have read it. I absolutely loved Crawdads!

I feel she has not quite processed through it all, if that makes sense? Anyway, I haven't read Where the Crawdad's Sing and so can't make a comparison.

Her father was a troubled person, careless with other people, especially his children. I was surprised to see how close the author's bond remains with her parents and siblings, despite their terrible behavior toward her. It was a sad read.<br /><br />I'm gladDeb Nance at Readerbuzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128529491888701996noreply@blogger.com
