Once again your writing is a balm. My mother-in-law died this morning. She didn't like the pagan elements of Catholicism, but I love them and find the comforting and fascinating.
I read The Long Night of the White Chickens almost 30 years ago. I still think about it.
Oh, Gillian--I am so sorry for your loss. Sending you love ❤️❤️ and I agree, there is something very grounding about ritual.
I would love to hear more on what you thought about The Long Night of White Chickens if you feel up to it! I’m only about 60 pages in, but already feel that I know (and love) the characters well.
Can I add a book into the recommendation mix? The Fish that Ate the Whale - the life and times of the Banana King, Sam Zemurray - President of United Fruit
Always! Just Googled it--looks really compelling, and would be super interesting to examine the political power of United Fruit from the other side. Thanks for the rec 😊

This is so right, Kimia. How could our ancestors leave us when they shapes everything about the world we live in?
